Verse 1

The life I've always wanted I guess I'll never have

I'll be

working for somebody else Until I'm in my grave

I'll be

dreaming of a live of ease and

mountains Oh

mountains o'

things

Verse 2

To have a big expensive car Drag my furs on the ground

And have a maid that I can tell To bring me anything

Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed

I'll revel in their attention And

mountains Oh

mountains o'

things

Verse 3

Sweet lazy life Champagne and caviar

I hope you'll come and find me Cause you know who we are

Those who deserve the best in life And know what money's worth

And those whose sole misfortune Was having

mountains o'

nothing at

birth

Hook

Oh they

tell me

There's still time to save my soul They

tell me

nounce all Ren

ounce all those material things you

gained by

Exploiting other

human beings

Verse 4

Consume more than you need This is the dream

Make you pauper Or make you queen

I won't die lonely I'll have it all prearranged

A grave that's deep and wide enough For

me and all my

mountains o'

things

Hook

Oh they

tell me

There's still time to save my soul They

tell me

nounce all Ren

ounce all those material things you

gained by

Exploiting other

human beings

Bridge

Mostly I feel

lonely

Good good people are

Good people are

only My stepping stones

It's gonna take all my

mountains o' things To

surround me

Keep all my

enemies away

Keep my sadness and

loneliness at bay

Verse 5

The life I've always wanted I guess I'll never have

I'll be

working for somebody else Until I'm in my grave

I'll be

dreaming of a live of ease and

mountains Oh

mountains o'

things
