lyrics

I’ve got my money all set on a ball
I’m not stupid, I’m just watching it fall
They say the wheel’s been spinning for long
I’m only here to make a life out of song
The neatest thing about being the patron’s son
Must be to get to choose whose side you are on
Watch them scramble for a shoulder to cry on
Hell, I’m just looking for a boulder to sigh on
It’s open season
Far as I’m concerned
Hey, what you sow is just what you earn
Woe unto you, pharisees
When everybody turns to look at the rich
Say, how about their heads in a ditch
We’ll screen a bit of the old Bill and Melinda
Bound to be the kindest folks on the cinder
It’s open season
Far as I’m concerned
The more you know, the more ye learn
Woe unto you, pharisees
Keep it subtle, almost ordinary
Might come off as kind of visionary
That should work out for you
I guess I’m kinda like a wavering pilgrim
Not too righteous, not too prone to sin
It’s true
Well, I never come in right on, do you?
Never heavy, but I wish to be in tune
It’s only when I meet the kind we’re sparing
Do I wonder if there’s any point in—
But what can you do?
They tried to warn you but it wasn’t enough
You always thought they sold you in on the bluff
So now you get to hear the desperate cries
Hope you’re happy to just watch from the lines
