WALL STREET

Verse 1
Why would I wanna walk a street called wall,
which by name makes the claim to lead nowhere at all?
It’s a shame.
Who you gonna blame when it all falls?

I’d rather travel a street called straight
Which by fate leads the way to the pearly gates.
I’m not a hater,
But see you later alligator.

Chorus
I ain’t got no place in the economy with the wolves, I’m a lamb, so won’t you let be me myself,
and nobody else.
I’m not a rat so I’ll opt out of the race, no climb or clamber to the top of the pay scale
I can’t keep pace.
I prefer the rhythm of grace.

Verse 2
You can’t entice me with any of your niceties.
None of those vices, please.
No matter how you slice it, there’s no dice for me.
I don’t roll well with high society.

I like to live my Life In Simple Terms.
My list of pleasures is to love and to learn.
I don’t put stock in no securities,
I’m storing treasures in eternity.

CHORUS

Verse 3
I’ve got a lot of good ideas, I don’t wanna feed ‘em to the sharks in the tank or the dragons in the den.
Where would I be then?
On the road with all the others; all the pushers and shovers
And lovers of their covers on their way to the wall
That leads nowhere at all.
I said they’re on their way to the wall.
The wall about to fall.
Oh yeah, they’re on their way to the wall.
I don’t wanna walk down Wall Street.
