House of Cards

 So, you wanna be kings

And toss away

The rest of us in the deck.

Say we’re too needy,

We’re too greedy

For the coins you put in our hands.

So, you cut loose all us losers,

And replace us

With shiny toys.

Say they think better,

They work faster,

And the coins stay in your hand.

You really didn’t think this through,

Did you?

Your big, bright house of cards

Is gonna tumble on down.

So now the aisles are all empty

And the shelves

Are collecting dust.

Your stuff costs money.

We have no money.

Your brilliant game is going bust.

You really didn’t think this through,

Did you?

Your big, bright house of cards

Is gonna tumble on down.

So, your warehouse is overflowing

As we find

A new kind of freedom.

We’re good enough

Without your stuff

And we go dancing in the fields.

You really didn’t think this through,

Did you?

Your big, bright house of cards

Is gonna tumble on down.
