3 Big Bags

歌詞

So you feel like you're all grown up now A great big fish in a great big town With the whole wide world at your fingertips All slicked back and ruby lipped An all-star player at the front of the line Kissing lots of ass and working overtime You got real good at acting your age You're a bird in search of a cage Ever since you were young it's been push, push, push And now looking back it seems torturous You say I'm the greatest thing that this worlds ever seen My mommy and daddy wouldn't lie to me They gave me everything that they thought I would need A sack of gold and a sack of leaves Hit me real good and screamed with rage Now I'm a bird in search of a cage A sack of gold, a sack of leaves A sack of dirt for us to eat Cross the road, walk the tracks Open your eyes and don't look back You got an 8-ball in your coat and some money in your wallet A hundred dollar bill is rolled up in your pocket It's a fast, fast world for a fast, fast guy The king of the hill with your head in the sky You sold that sack of gold a long time ago And the big bag of leaves was getting old Strutting around like you're on a stage Dirty little bird found a dirty little cage Time's gone by and you're feeling pretty old All your friends stopped calling back a long time ago You know there's something missing but you don't know what It ain't money, ain't power, ain't a silky little slut You're a time bomb, time bomb born without a fuse Credit's running out and the bills are coming due Now your wings are all shriveled and you're counting up your days The door's always open but you love your filthy cage
