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 live 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 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 o' 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 gained by
Exploiting other human beings
Consume more than you need This is the dream
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 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 live of ease and mountains Oh mountains o' things
I'll be dreaming dreaming...dreaming dreaming...dreaming
I'll be dreaming dreaming...dreaming dreaming...dreaming
I'll be dreaming dreaming...dreaming dreaming...dreaming
