Nest Egg

Our nest egg may be rotten
And all our dreams forgotten
But I am not down-trodden
I'm a floatin' 

And you might say I'm a driftin'
Just a sifter out siftin'
But the point is listenin'
On the way

And now my bow is a listing
There's no oil in my piston
And the shot I fire is missin',
The mark.

It's a lie
It's a lie
It's a lie, that you gotta be the big man,
the big man in this world.

It's a lie,
Oh it's a lie,
It's a lie that you gotta be the big man,
the big man in this world

And now our nest egg's rotten
But our love is not forgotten
And I am not a down-trodden
I'm a floatin'.
