about

Thanks to Nancy McMaster for the title of this song. Nancy is probably taking a huge bong hit right now and will soon go to work to tell her students that she's never touched "dope", that she's naturally high on music therapy. Sorry Nancy, I like you, "and/but" you can't fool me.

lyrics

FREEDOM WITHIN SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Well, I'm broke. I got no money
But it don't matter, it's just money
I may die tomorrow or I may die today
Why would I wanna go to work anyway?
I've been lost and I've been won
Loneliness is the cost of gettin' things done
I've got a friend who just signed her life away
She found security in a ball and chain

There's a cigarette dangling from the mouth
Of a withered and frail Fijian woman
Her fingers are thin and her lips are blue
Look into her eyes and she'll analyse you
There's tough times all around
There's money, fags, and joints on the ground
There's a balcony to jump off if you feel the need to do it
If you think about the future and say, "screw it."

Everybody's got the dollar sign disease
Think about a million bucks and get weak in the knees
But I'm just a hypocrite, guilty as charged
The purest form of freedom can be found behind bars
Punch the clock and buy some time
With mushroom tea and Japanese plum wine
Maybe we can wake up in a dream
Where nothing is exactly what it seems
Maybe we can wake up in a dream
Where nothing is what it seems

(c) Bob Westfall 2011
