You Can't Eat Money 2
=====================
Lyrics by Alex Raichev.
Sequel to "You Can't Eat Money" from Paper Dragon Album 3 and further inspired by the following quote.

"Canada, the most affluent of countries, operates on a depletion economy which leaves destruction in its wake.
Your people are driven by a terrible sense of deficiency.
When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can't eat money."
~Alanis Obomsawin, 1972

[Old man to young man]

Falling out, so it's a problem now?
On and on, all in the same way.
Running loose, oh, you're a gander, one
purple hued, cursing the sun out.

You don't need no problems.
All the same for problems.
I can't call a problem from
yesterday.

Simple summer flowers
bloom under the showers.
Terawatts of power won't
stop this day, son.

[Young man to old man]

Oh,
something known?
Music wild, wild.
Say be alone.
Oh then be alone.
All the jumble go.
Hear it go
among jays.

[Old man to young man]

You don't need no problems.
All the same for problems.
I can't call a problem from
yesterday.

All of that, your lovers,
all your chance uncovers.
I'll need my rubbers. Yeah,
you done warned me.

[Young man to old man]

Hold on.
Come eternity to see:
Let me tell you something.
Set you on your feet.

Come out.
Turn at every scented scene:
Wreckage, havoc, ruin,
waiting in the weeds

And if you want to die alone,
I'll put you on the phone with Joan.
She harvests kidneys for a cause and
likes big bones.

[Young man in the woods]

I go a-walking.
You need a-talking to.
I see a face now...

[Creature of the woods]

Gah!
Would i got you just don't care.
Buried, shorn.
Pain.
How fast i catch you! Woo woo woo again.
