lyrics

don’t let us get rich
i like where we live
don’t let us get rich and go crazy
don’t let us get rich don’t let us get rich don’t let us get rich at all

anyone can see the horizon is wanting
the national bird has a nest full of beaks
screaming to be set free from their longing
mistaking each other for something to eat
so when mr. obama and mr. bruce springsteen
talk about wealth i too want to be saved
then they say it’s the country’s ugly addiction
and thank god they don’t think about money these days

don’t let us get rich
don’t let us get rich
don’t let us get rich and go crazy
don’t let us get rich don’t let us get rich don’t let us get rich at all

in the sky is a line of funeral lilies
we haven’t been paying for much until now
no mourning doves darling no chickadeedeedeedees
the migration started without a sound
so when all our troubles returned to their sources
we saw that of course there’s a natural desire
but honey they’re prancing around like the horses
who think when it’s sunny the river’s on fire

don’t let us get rich
don’t let us get rich
don’t let us get rich and go crazy
don’t let us get rich don’t let us get rich don’t let us get rich at all

so nothing we wrote ended the writing
and we always owed a little more than we made
we took our ambition as far as we could
we went there we got there we still felt the same
in the sky is a flock of half starving egrets
making their way to a newfoundland farm
in the sky is a moon faint and unnoticed
and pulling the tide out impossibly far

don’t let us get rich
don’t let us get rich
don’t let us get rich and go crazy
don’t let us get rich don’t let us get rich don’t let us get rich at all
