Time Spent, Money Grow!

Lyrics for Time Spent, Money Grow!

He was born to run, born to be a dead man Born with a pistol in his hand, an unmarked grave above his head His name was Wisdom, but they called him Joe And it's a shame that Uncle Sam always points his finger in your face Do it my way, you sad disgrace of a man Pack your bags, hit the road, haven't got one place left to go I walk alone on down the highway There's nothing new in reservations Waiting rooms or changing stations Money lending, credit changing, minutes ticking So all the headlines read the script but don't know how to feel And I don't know what to think And I don't know how to learn And I don't know how to act So I walk alone on through the school yard Yes, and I wanna laugh so hard out loud, I can hardly stand it All the animals scream, "Time spent, money made" Oh, the test, likewise, the tops where nothing confined you Where you do what you're told to and where sirens embrace Any busted-down shack late at night People will come find you Oh, they'll bend and they'll break you And where pebbles become stones Ah, so just before the rocks and the mountaintops And the drops to make the river flow Oh, and just mean not for the string unravelled at my feet Why are the broken-glass cracks beneath my shoe? Oh, time spent, money saved Running around, calling their names into the ground And when that heavy ring comes, the city fills its iron lungs Make sure everyone can feel its breath upon their necks So I'll be among the ones who run Forcing slowly towards the sun And to everyone I've ever loved Take care, God bless, do your best And no unturned stone Time spent, money grow
