Pennies for Our Eyes

Another dollar, another day, forced to waste the hours away
But doing time collecting pay, never cured the broken hearted

Who among us wrote the rule, that makes a human being a tool
When like good money and it’s fool, we all will soon be parted?

On and on, life is long -how to hold on tight when it’s bittersweet
On and on, but when it’s gone, it isn’t long at all

On and on, life is long -learn to love and learn how to keep your feet
On and on, but when it’s gone, it isn’t long at all

Bankers live and bankers die, by usury that bleeds us dry
They’ll have us working all our lives just to spur the boatman’s labors

Loan us dollars loan us dimes, we’ll surely pay you back sometime
Loan us the pennies for our eyes, oh will you undertaker?

On and on, life is long -how to hold on tight when it’s bittersweet
On and on, but when it’s gone, it isn’t long at all

On and on, life is long - learn to love and learn how to keep your feet
On and on, but when it’s gone, it isn’t long at all

But it’s lonely on the way...
It's lonley on the way

A beggar offered a wealthy man a wizend apple from his hand
Who's the poor one man for man? Both are caught in history

One has money, one has time, both can say “All this is mine.”
Gentle, vicious, cruel or kind, life is full of mystery…
