Mountains O' Things Lyrics

The life I've always wanted

I guess I'll never have

I'll be working for someone 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

And have a maid that I can tell

To bring my anything

Everyone will look at my with envy and 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 o' nothings at birth



Oh they tell my

There's still time to save my soul

They tell my

Renounce all

Renounce all those material things you gained by

Exploiting other human beings



Consume more than you need

This is a dream

Make your pauper

Or make you queen

I won't die lonely

I'll have a prearranged

A grave that's deep and wide enough

For my and my mountains o' things



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

Keep my sadness and loneliness at bay



I'll be dreaming

dreaming

dreaming...
