Mountains O' Things - Tracy Chapman

[00:16.19]The life I've always wanted
[00:18.54]I guess I'll never have
[00:20.74]I'll be working for somebody else
[00:23.58]Until I'm in my grave
[00:25.90]I’ll be dreaming of life of ease
[00:28.78]And mountains, oh mountains o'things
[00:36.63]Have a big expensive car
[00:39.03]Drag my furs on the ground
[00:41.95]And have a maid that I can tell
[00:44.38]To bring me anything
[00:47.21]Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed
[00:52.05]I'll revel in their attention
[00:54.50]And mountains
[00:55.41]Oh mountains o'things
[01:02.87]Sweet lazy life
[01:04.93]Champagne and caviar
[01:07.94]I hope you'll come and find me
[01:10.60]Cause you know who we are
[01:13.08]Those who deserve the best in life
[01:15.68]And know what money's worth
[01:18.33]And those whose sole misfortune
[01:20.59]Was having mountains o'nothing at birth
[01:27.96]Oh they tell me
[01:30.66]There's still time to save my soul
[01:33.26]They tell me
[01:38.21]Renounce all
[01:41.03]Renounce all those material things you gained by
[01:45.93]Exploiting other human beings
[01:53.56]Consume more than you need
[01:56.61]This is the dream
[01:59.42]Make you pauper
[02:01.78]Or make you queen
[02:04.53]I won't die lonely
[02:06.43]I’ll have it all prearranged
[02:08.94]A grave that’s deep and wide enough
[02:11.39]For me and all my mountains o'things
[02:18.83]Oh they tell me
[02:21.58]There's still time to save my soul
[02:24.12]They tell me
[02:29.17]Renounce all
[02:31.99]Renounce all those material things you gained by
[02:36.89]Exploiting other human beings
[02:45.89]Mostly I feel lonely
[02:54.46]Good good people are
[02:58.90]Good people are only
[03:02.48]My stepping stones
[03:05.90]It's gonna take all my mountains o'things
[03:10.01]To surround me
[03:15.83]Keep all my enemies away
[03:21.12]Keep my sadness and loneliness at bay
[03:30.55]The life I've always wanted
[03:33.11]I guess I'll never have
[03:35.61]I'll be working for somebody else
[03:38.07]Until I'm in my grave
[03:40.52]I'll be dreaming of life of ease
[03:43.23]And mountains, oh mountains o'things
[03:50.35]I'll be dreaming, dreaming, dreaming...
[04:27.95]Dreaming...
