lirik lagu the hillbilly thomists – chasing money no more
[verse 1]
i thought i found the holy grail
but its touch was as cold as h~ll
i lived inside the walls of babylon just before they fell
everything eventually turns to dust
all the possessions eventually rust
the things of the spirit are the only things to trust
well, you try to find what life is for
but it’s hard to even find the door
you wonder where you came from and what you should live for
[chorus]
everybody’s interested in paradise
till they find out it doesn’t always feel nice
and i ain’t gonna spend my time chasing money no more
[verse 2]
i read a book of renaissance history
it was a true story of vanity
i bought it from a man in a black hat at the art sale
he said, “son, the heroes all gave in
and there’s no point in naming since”
then he gave me a stack of cash at the back of the station inn
oh, they say it takes all the pain away
from the dawn of time until the break of day
but it’s funny how it never works out that~a~way
[chorus]
[verse 3]
well they dressed me in the ancient cloak
and let me tell ya that it ain’t no joke
i spend as much time alone with angels as with common folk
but it’s a life of sweet confection
supernatural connection
and as far as i can tell it’s headed in the proper direction
oh the ancients, they’ve all gone and died
now they just talk about policy to justify the vanity
let’s leave the ship of fools and get back to the old school
[chorus]
[verse 4]
well, there’s a world of people who work hard
to make what it takes to live
and there’s a world of people who know what it means to really give
but these refined considerations aside
if you want to learn to be truly alive
drink the blood and let’s start living for the other side
well, you try to find what life is for
but it’s hard to even find the door
you wonder where you came from and what you should live for
[chorus]
and i ain’t gonna spend my time chasing money no more
