lyrics

YOUR NEIGHBOR’S WALLET

The next-door guy’s prioritized affairs
Budgeting life with someone upstairs
But his boss is in between
His love & opportunity
A sacrifice to show his family he cares

I bet his shoes don’t fit your feet
I bet he’s got discount worries
And he works twice as much to earn enough to support his family
He shouldn’t have shame if you don’t
He shouldn’t have anything you own
There’s only iou’s and prejudice in your neighbor’s wallet

The daily grind and the bottomless to do
Juggling time & her duty to
The success of the company
And the survival of her family
Underemployed & educated too

Just pay your dues & everything will turn out fine
Just a few more years & six feet til the finish line

I bet their shoes don’t fit your feet
I bet they’ve got discount worries
And they work twice as much to earn enough to support their families
They shouldn’t have shame if you don’t
They shouldn’t have anything you own
There’s only iou’s and prejudice in your neighbor’s wallet

Strangers In A Strange Land
by The Mound Builders

Awesome dudes making tunes with fat guitars & booty-shaking rhythm. It's raw, it's dirty, & it's heavy. Really, why wouldn't I love it? June IND
