You can play a cheap tin penny whistle
or beat on a big gold gong
down here on earth in the soft grass or stinging thistle
nobody stays here for long
Those up on high and those way down low
breathe the same bitter air,
we’ll just have to see how it goes
we’ll just have to see how it goes
You can bring down the house
with your gong if you’re not careful
the house can be had for a song
But many a song has been more than tearful
for both the weak and the strong
So sing for the loss of the high,
sing for the loss of the low—
who breathe the same bitter air
we’ll just have to see how it goes
we’ll just have to see how it goes
The future’s been sold,
the contract more than settled
its clauses clear as a bell
No profit’s too high in the market
of precious metal —buy everything
you can sell
Those up on high and those way down low
breathe the same bitter air,
we’ll just have to see how it goes
we’ll just have to see how it goes
Yeah, you can play a cheap tin penny whistle
or beat on a big gold gong
down here on earth in the soft grass or stinging thistle
nobody stays here for long
nobody stays here for long
