Mountains Othings — текст песни (Tracy Chapman)

The life Ive always wanted

I guess Ill never have

Ill be working for somebody else

Until Im in my grave

Ill be dreaming of a live of ease

And mountains

Oh mountains o things





To have a big expensive car

Drag my furs on the ground

And have a maid that I can tell

To bring me anything

Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed

Ill revel in their attention

And mountains

Oh mountains o things





Sweet lazy life

Champagne and caviar

I hope youll come and find me

Cause you know who we are

Those who deserve the best in life

And know what moneys worth

And those whose sole misfortune

Was having mountains o nothing at birth





Oh they tell me

Theres still time to save my soul

They tell me

Renounce all

Renounce all those material things you gained by

Exploiting other human beings





Consume more than you need

This is the dream

Make you pauper

Or make you queen

I wont die lonely

Ill have it all prearranged

A grave thats deep and wide enough

For me and all my mountains o things





Mostly I feel lonely

Good good people are

Good people are only

My stepping stones

Its gonna take all my mountains o things

To surround me

Keep all my enemies away

Keep my sadness and loneliness at bay





Ill be dreaming, dreaming...

Dreaming...
