Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Green grass help the cows graze
Hedge Fund, 401
Keg milk and honey in the land of the free
[Verse 2]
New York Times, Farmer's Almanac
Too busy to call our, “Mama”
Back porch ain’t what it used to be
[Verse 3]
We don’t know what we want, but we want it
And we want it all right now
[Verse 4]
We’re too young until we’re too old
We’re all lost on the Yellow Brick Road
We climb the ladder, but the ladder just grows
We’re born, we work, we die, it’s spiritual
[Verse 5]
Enough is never enough
American Dream never wakes up
Too much is never too much
We won’t be happy till we rich and miserable
[Verse 6]
Go to school to get a job
Don’t make enough to pay it off
And on and on it goes
[Verse 7]
Right-wing, blue jean, gotta get the new thing
Whatever-it-takes-to-make-the-world-look-at-you thing
[Verse 8]
We’re too young until we’re too old
We’re all lost on the Yellow Brick Road
We climb the ladder, but the ladder just grows
We’re born, we work, we die, it’s spiritual
[Verse 9]
Enough is never enough
American Dream never wakes up
Too much is never too much
We won’t be happy till we’re rich and miserable
[Verse 10]
And maybe, we’ll get it
Maybe we won’t
But even when we get it
Really we don’t
[Verse 11]
We’re too young until we’re too old
We’re all lost on the Yellow Brick Road
We climb the ladder, but the ladder just grows
We’re born, we work, we die, it’s spiritual
[Verse 12]
Enough is never enough
American Dream never wakes up
Too much is never too much
We won’t be happy till we rich and miserable
[Verse 13]
Come on, get it rich and miserable
(Come on, get it rich and miserable)
