recorded in LA in late 2018, this song was sold for parts and parceled off to 'con s sewer' and 'feel you' but it has its moments
lyrics
What if to work I wore a suit and tie
Combed my hair real nice
In business meetings I'd sigh
Negotiating deals on foreign trade
The wigs on Wall St, they'd all know my name
There'd be no songs 'cept the little I played in college
How I remember the days
That cover of wonderwall was flawless
ahahaha
Let's catch a flight to london
We'll star in some movies or make out under a bridge
I don't care if it's cloudy
As long as you're the first thing I see when I wake up
People in power thinking their hot shots
While we rule our own bodies
That's all we've got
And I wanna spend all my time finding new ways to thrive
With anyone who'll take my hand say, let's do it
Let's waste our whole lives
Tiny animals, that's all we are
Don't forget when you're driving your car
Tiny grains of sand
Living on the land
Only for a moment
That's all we've got
