Lyrics
Simple Economics
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.
the volunteers were tired
heads were hanging low
the news had spoiled their appettite
for stuffing envelopes
twelve points was an awful lot to be down in the polls
with only two weeks to go
shouldering the phone
loosening his tie
his running mate on pricks and pins
hovering beside
the candidate wrote furiously as if to save his life
then hung up the phone and spoke with great conviction
when you're nothing but a boyfriend
dangling by a thread
keeop in mind the bottom line
diamonds are a girls's best friend
inches from the goal
one thing on his mind
to get behind her desk and make
some big decisions
power can be such a tease
you're always wantingmore
it's good to know that just like sex it can be paid for
