Irreve-rant

Today's headline news
Is I'm running out of wood and I've got big holes in my shoes
Your business deals are irrelevant to me
Here is the score I don't work for you
You're wasting your time trying to tell me what to do
And I'm the one you say that lacks respect

You're all about the bling, you're all about the wedge
Me I'm happy by the fire and living freely by the hedge
I prefer the woods to your palaces and walls
I've never been in awe of your diamonds and pearls
All things being equal in this world
Your dragons hoard it has no real worth

On the last spring moon when the hawthorn blooms
Before the summer rain maybe I'll be back again
On the last spring moon when the hawthorn blooms
Before the summer rain maybe I'll be back again

I've had occasion to reflect,
That the more you steal the more you feel you must protect
Are you wealthy or just a thief at heart?
If I appear nonchalant
It's because I won't kiss arse and there is nothing here I want
I'll take my chances on the open road

You still keep coming to collect
But I don't owe you shit cos I was never in your debt
You can't force me to drink from a poisoned well
And the crap you try and make me eat is laughable
To me your ways are obsolete
You're the cloud that keeps the sun from my back

On the last spring moon when the hawthorn blooms
Before the summer rain maybe I'll be back again
On the last spring moon when the hawthorn blooms
Before the summer rain maybe I'll be back again
