Lyrics
Pressures of the business world, relationships with clocks
Lawyers handle phone calls, accountants count your stocks
But I keep running into opportunities with locks
So I'll steal me some solitude and trade it for a friend
I'll try to find a hiding place for anything I keep
And beg for some forgiveness right now
Justice runs too steep
So let's teach our kids the basics, mathematics for today
Your kindergarten traded, new prisons on the way
That grumbling in your stomach?
We got a pill for that
So I'll steal me some solitude and trade it for a friend
I'll break my back to go in debt; your broken rules won't bend
I'll charge a little tenderness, and barter for some sleep
And try to find a hiding place for anything I keep
And beg for some forgiveness right now
Justice runs too steep
Yea time is money baby, you watch your mama cry
Love is insignificant, it's all what you can buy.
So I'll steal me some solitude and trade it for a friend
I'll break my back to go in debt; your broken rules won't bend
I'll charge a little tenderness, and barter for some sleep
And try to find a hiding place for anything I keep
And beg for some forgiveness right now
Justice runs too steep
