Rich and Miserable

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Green grass, help the cows graze, hedgefund 401

Keg and milk and honey in the land of the free

New York Times, Farmer's Almanac

Too busy to call our mamas

Back porch ain't what it used to be

We don't know what we want

But we want it and we want it all right now

We're too young until we're too old

We're all lost on the yellow brick road

We climb the ladder but the ladder just grows

We're born, we work, we die, it's spiritual

Enough is never enough

American dream never wakes up

Too much is never too much

We won't be happy 'til we're rich and miserable

Go to school to get a job

Don't make enough to pay it off

And on and on it goes

Right wing blue jean, gotta get the new thing

Whatever it takes to make the world look at you, think

We're too young until we're too old

We're all lost on the yellow brick road

We climb the ladder but the ladder just grows

We're born, we work, we die, it's spiritual

Enough is never enough

American dream never wakes up

Too much is never too much

We won't be happy 'til we're rich and miserable

And maybe we'll get it (maybe we'll get it)

Maybe we won't (maybe we won't)

But even when we get it (but even when we get it)

Really we don't

We're too young until we're too old

We're all lost on the yellow brick road

We climb the ladder but the ladder just grows

We're born, we work, we die, it's spiritual

Enough is never enough

American dream never wakes up

Too much is never too much

We won't be happy 'til we're rich and miserable

Come on, get rich and miserable

Come on, get rich and miserable
