Some get the gravy, some get the gristle
|
Some get the marrow bone
|
Some get nothing though there's plenty to spare
|
Some watch the paint peel, some watch their kids grow
|
Some watch their stocks and bonds
|
Waiting for that big deal American Dream
|
|
Took my dream down by the sea
|
Sailing yachts and lobster pots and sunshine
|
Logs and sails and shell oil pails
|
Down where the waterskiers glide
|
|
Some turn to Elvis, some turn to Africa
|
Some turn to rambling round
|
For a clean sky and a drinking stream
|
Who let the greedy in ?
|
Who left the needy out ?
|
Who made the salty sea ?
|
Tell them we're hungry for a sweeter fare
|
|
Took my dream down by the sea
|
Sailing yachts and lobster pots and sunshine
|
Logs and sails and shell oil pails
|
Down where the waterskiers glide
|
|
Some get the gravy, some get the gristle
|
Some get the marrow bone
|
Some get nothing though there's plenty to spare
|
Some watch the paint peel, some watch their kids grow
|
Some watch their stocks and bonds
|
Waiting for that big deal American Dream
