The Land of the Bottom Line

The Land of the Bottom Line - John Gorka

I couldn't bribe a wind on what I used to make

My fortune was as sure as the wind

But I was free to wonder and time was on my hands

It was mine to burn and to bend

[Refrain]
Freedom for freedom
Call that an even scheme
Give me time to wonder and to dream
I'll take the money
They'll take the time
Down to the Land of the Bottom Line

Then there came a chance to make some steady dough
Bouncing up my alley to the door
You fill your clothes with keys and damned responsibility
Trading the maybe for the sure

[Repeat Refrain]

All I ever wanted was to be a kid at play
Fighting every change along the way
I don't like work but I don't like waste
And I don't like waiting for a taste

[Repeat Refrain]
