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
of things
To have a big expensive car
drag my furs
on the ground
And have a maid
that I can tell
to bring me anything
Everyone will look at me
with envy
and with greed
And I'll revel in their attention
and mountains
Oh mountains
of things
A 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
Oh they tell me
there's still time
to save my soul
They tell me
Renounce all
Renounce all those material things
you've gained by
exploiting other human beings
Consume more than you need
this is the dream
Make you a pauper or
make you a 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
of things
Oh they tell me
there's still time
to save my soul
They tell me
Renounce all
Renounce all those material things
you've gained by
exploiting other
human beings
And mostly
I feel lonely
Good people are
Good people are only
my stepping stones
It's gonna take all
my mountains
of things
to surround me
Keep all
my enemies away
Keep all 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
of 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
I'll be dreaming
dreaming dreaming
dreaming dreaming
