lyrics

Bottom Line
(Ode to greed and exploitation)

Summer time is fading
Into that furrow upon your brow
Pink moon is racing westward
To a collision with the sun

You say you’re doing nothin’
But, I think that that’s a lie
Mind police are in the pantry
Cookin’ up an alibi

Little children are clapping
As the train pulls into view
Ooh, ooh

Get your . . .
Ticket at the station
For the Bottom Line
We’re going to have us
A real good time

Mula Bula
Starts the band to play
Was it in the future or
Only yesterday?

We’re all ridin’ the Bottom Line
We’re all ridin’ the Bottom Line

All aboard
The conductor says
Yo’ better off livin’
Than, you are dead

We’re all ridin’ the Bottom
Yeah, we’re all ridin’ the Bottom Line
Choo-Choo La Rue’s
A brave engineer
Chaws tobacco
He knows no fear

Says if this train never
Blows its top
We all be dancin’
The Eagle Rock

We’re all ridin’ the Bottom
We’re all ridin’ the Bottom Line

Can you feel the rumble
Listen to the roar
Travel ‘cross floorboards
Into your soul

We’re all ridin’ the Bottom Line
We’re all ridin’ the Bottom Line
