lyrics

Bonds And Gold

bonds and gold stocks and gold
the thrill of making money sleeping don’t get old

when i got out of college it was clear to me
making big bucks first priority
so i threw my paintings all away
and strapped on a tie for the big payday

soon i had a benz and a house on the beach
you can’t grab it if you never reach
and i was sure it’s only good i do
so thank me for the trickle flowing down to you

bonds and gold stocks and gold
the thrill of making money sleeping don’t get old

work was almost all i did
if i wanted more inside i kept it hid
the years flew by the coffers filled
meanwhile something somewhere chilled

then junior got caught in a foolish crime
selling bags of dope on the old man’s dime
when i bailed him out he stared with hate
they took your cut dad you’re too late

bonds and gold stocks and gold
the thrill of making money sleeping don’t get old

i was stunned that my wife would file
she’d seemed content to spend in style
she curled close in our giant bed
here’s what i learned from you she said

bonds and gold stocks and gold
the thrill of making money sleeping don’t get old 2X
