Mountains O' Things (Live FM Broadcast Remastered)

Thank you

Life I've always wanted
I guess I'll never have
I'll be working for somebody else
Until I'm in my grave
I'll be dreaming of a life of ease
And mountains, oh, mountains o' things

To have a big expensive car
Drag my furs on the ground
Have a maid that I can tell
To bring me anything
Everyone will look at me
With envy and with greed
I'll revel in their attention
And mountains, oh, mountains o' things

Sweet lazy life
Champagne and caviar
I hope you'll come and find me
'Cause you know who we are
Those who deserve the best in life
And know what money's worth
And those whose sole misfortune
Was having mountains of nothing at birth

And, oh, they tell me
Still time to save my soul
They tell me
Renounce all
Renounce all those material things you gained by
Exploiting other human beings

You consume more than you need
This is a dream
To make you pauper
Or make you queen
I won't die lonely
I'll have it all prearranged
A grave that's deep and wide enough
For me and all my mountains o' things

Oh, they tell me
There's still time to save my soul
They tell me
Renounce all
Renounce all those material things you gained by
Exploiting other human beings

Mostly I feel lonely
Good, good people are
Good people are only
My stepping stones
It's gonna take all my mountains o' things
To surround me
Keep all my enemies away
And keep my sadness and loneliness at bay

The life I've always wanted
I guess I'll never have
I'll be working for somebody else
Until I'm in my grave
I'll be dreaming of a life of ease
And mountains, oh, mountains o' things

I'll be dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
Dreaming
I'll be dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
Dreaming
I'll be dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
Dreaming

Thank you
