lyrics

I ain’t got time for a revolution
You earn a little gold, then it fades away
And I don’t know how I ended up at your house
I guess it doesn’t really matter much, anyway

Mama always said don’t you be reckless
Always save more than you spend
Everybody everywhere said we can grow forever
And in the end everyone would win

Now I’m free, as a parrot
Running my mouth from the confines of my room
Rich, as an American Pharoah
Living out my days scoring someone else’s loot

I had a little land in a lovely stretch of country
Toilin’ time’s all I’d ever known
Just closing deals for the bowties and the cameras
Til they ran into a little bit of trouble with some unpaid loans

Now I’m free, as a parrot
Running my mouth from the confines of my room
Rich, as an American Pharoah
Living out my days under someone else’s boot

It sure was a long road
Sure was a heavy load
I carried all my life for all of you
I’m done with running
I guess I’ll come clean
Is there any more I can do?

Free, as a parrot
Running my mouth from the confines of my room
Rich, as an American Pharoah
Living out my days under someone else’s boot
