    Story Behind the Song
    The same four chords I have been playing since '89. I got motivated to record the song because I was drowning in my own capitalist dream.

    Lyrics
    Day by day we sell ourselves short
    Herded like cattle by the long hard prong.
    Society is full of unspeakables
    and little bastard vultures that peck at our nuts.
    They say there is only one path to righteousness,
    and they stick us in a cubicle
    and hang taboo from our breast.

    We're all prostitutes
    putting our bodies to use
    Doin' what we gotta do to get paid.

    This old wanderlust
    has led me to a mountaintop
    in limbo, sharing my quarters with a frothing
    at the mouth priest.
    I’m doomed indefinitely unless I slip from this cliff
    And sail the river Styx
    But, there are rodents in the valley
    Gnawing at the stems of the Daisies and
    I can spend my days there naked and free
