Mountains O' Things / Glamorous

1987

Mountains O' Things
Tracy Chapman

The life I've always wanted
I guess I'll never have
I'll be working for somebody else
Until I'm in my grave
I'll be dreaming of a live of ease
And mountains
Oh mountains o' things

To have a big expensive car
Drag my furs on the ground
And have a maid that I can tell
To bring me anything
Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed
I'll revel in their attention
And mountains
Oh mountains o' things

Sweet lazy life
Champagne and caviar
I hope you'll come and find me
Cause you know who we are
Those who deserve the best in life
And know what money's worth
And those whose sole misfortune
Was having mountains o' nothing at birth

Oh they tell me
There's still time to save my soul
They tell me
Renounce all
Renounce all those material things you gained by
Exploiting other human beings

Consume more than you need
This is the dream
Make you pauper
Or make you queen
I won't die lonely
I'll have it all prearranged
A grave that's deep and wide enough
For me and all my mountains o' things

Mostly I feel lonely
Good good people are
Good people are only
My stepping stones
It's gonna take all my mountains o' things
To surround me
Keep all my enemies away
Keep my sadness and loneliness at bay

I'll be dreaming, dreaming...
Dreaming...

(Are You Ready)

(If you ain't got no money take your broke ass home)

G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S (yeah)

We flyin' first class up in the sky,
poppin' champagne, livin' the life,
in the fast lane,
I won't change by the Glamorous,
oo flossy, flossy

The Glamorous, The Glamorous, Glamorous,By The Glamorous, oo the flossy flossy.

all them things don't mean a thing,
chaperones and limousines,
shopping for expensive things,
I be on the movie screens,
magazines and bougie scenes,
I'm not clean, I'm not pristine, I'm no queen, I'm no machine,
I still go to taco bell,
drive-thru, raw as hell,
I don't care, I'm still real,
no matter how many records I sell,
after the show after the Grammys,
I like to go cool out with the family,
sipping reminiscing on days when I had a Mustang.


I'm talking champagne wishes,
caviar dreams,
you deserve nothing but all the finer things,
now this whole world has no clue what to do with us,
I've got enough money in the bank for the two of us,
Plus i gotta keep enough lettuce to support your shoe fetish lifestyle,
So rich and famous Robin Leach will get jealous,
half a million for the stones,
take a trip from here to Rome,
So if you ain't got no money take your broke ass home.

G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S (yeah)


I got problems up to here,
I got people in my ear,
telling me these crazy things that I don't wanna know (F*** ya'll),
I got money in the bank and I'd really like to thank,
all them fans I'd like thank, thank you really though,
cause I remember yesterday when I dreamt about the days when I'd rock on MTV, that'd be really dope
Damn, it's been a long road and the industry is cold
I'm glad my daddy told me so he let his daughter know.

(If you ain't got no money take your broke ass home) My Daddy told me so
(If you ain't got no money take your broke ass home) He Let Hïs Daughter know





I guess this is "progress".
