Too Many ELO Days - Timeshares

How can I ever believe this is a crisis

When you know the answers because

You were the cause of this?

The only crisis that I see was 1933

When you declared bankruptcy

Now the rats in my hallway are only

Eating every other day

And quitting time is always on my mind

I’d burn the check if it would keep me warm

It’s not worth a thing until it’s backed in gold

Like the jewellery we sold to

Pay our credit cards

We all deserve to sweat a little less for all the things we drag ourselves to

our jobs for, but I find myself sweating more

My folks were lying to me

It turns out money grows on trees

How could it be so easy to start production at the mint, swing the axe

Hit print and watch it all come tumbling down?

You’ve got bats in your belfry if

You think I’m believing what you’re telling me

And losing time is always on my mind.

I’m losing my mind at the same time.

It’s not worth a thing until it’s backed in gold, like the jewellery we sold

to pay our credit cards.

We all deserve to sweat a little less for all the

things we drag ourselves to our jobs for, but I find myself sweating more.

If only I could shade myself but those trees don’t grow in my backyard
