She`s been tripping over the flowers in her garden
The weeds are growing high
She dropped her laundry off at school
And hung her children on the clothesline to dry
She`s throwing trash in her simming pool
She`s pouring chlorine on her lawn
You might think she needs a pair of glasses
But, no, my friend you`re wrong
She cannot see the beauty in a tree
Or in the life that it supplies
This should not strike you as a mystery
For she has dollar signs in her eyes
She`s crashing her car in an intersection
She did not see the light
She`s walking round and round in a shopping mall
As if she had no sight
Dreams are only clouds
That form and dissipate
The sky is a highway for metal birds
And land is real estate
She does not understand her world depends
Upon a history of lies
She walks right by all her old high school friends
For she has dollar signs in her eyes
