They seem to live so nice it makes me want to trade

Their ace of hearts for my deuce of spades

But then would I spend all my days just sipping lemonade



I've heard it said the more you own, the more owns you

Ain't it strange how things we make can tell us what to do

But ain't no changing things, cuz things know who owns who

So freeing myself from the chains of things is what I wanna do



Have you ever felt how good it feels to wear your favorite shirt and then

Throw it on the sand, bathe in the sea,

Catch some rays, and then do it all over again



I know I've felt how good it feels to wear my favorite shirt and then

Throw it on the sand, bathe in the sea

And dream in the shade, and then tomorrow do it again



I'm sure there's somewhere that I read

It's easier for a camel to go through the eye-

of a needle than a rich man to be lead

through the gates of heaven and it's been said



to lay up treasures upon high

where thieves and devils never tread

I gotta eat my humble pie instead



Be careful what you say and be careful what you do

And be in the know about just who is looking over you

Remember if you never had a pebble in your shoe

You'd never know big brother had cast a net for you



A barrel full of crackers, my oh my

My favorite crackers aren't only white, I prefer to diversify

So bring me plenty made of wheat, and plenty made of rye

And all good grains to add flavor in the sweet bye and bye



I'm sure there's somewhere that I read

It's easier for a camel to go through the eye-

of a needle than a rich man to be lead

through the gates of heaven and it's been said



to lay up treasures upon high

where thieves and devils never tread

I gotta eat my humble pie instead
