Inspired by Uriah Heep's Easy Livin and Pink Floyd's Pigs (Three Different Ones), this song is about money and e-conomics. Money can not buy you happiness. On the other hand, economics is the study of "how people make their living." (An Introduction to Microeconomics by Wonnacott/Wonnacott, © 1979)
Can a human making an "inferior" living be happy?
What a paradox! Man can not buy happiness with money. However, man must make a living or certainly be unhappy.
After the fall,
After it all,
Just watch 'em tumble,
The plans bad?
Don't get mad,
Just watch 'em bubble,
-- interlude (Pink Floydian) --
Not a Big man,
'Cause money...
-- back through interlude --
EUREKA,
Just enough,
Rising high, high, high,
repeat and fade....
Of the wall,
The Soviet Block,
Began to crumble.
Hear their call?
Shall we reply,
Not even a mumble?
Under the RUBLE rubble.
Just watch 'em struggle,
Under the RUBLE rubble.
People sad?
People are good.
Just misunderstood!
Try on glad.
We've got a plan,
To help the Land.
Above the RUBLE rubble.
Just watch 'em struggle,
Through the RUBLE rubble.
Not a pig man,
heeheehee,
No charade... no not me.
Don't buy ya happiness.
It's funny...
Won't buy ya tenderness.
KAPEIKA
To scrape by,
On my journey,
Toward the sky.
Above the RUBLE rubble.
People say bye, bye, bye,
To the RUBLE rubble.
