      ( A5 D5 F5 G5 )
The life I've always wanted
I guess I'll never have
I'll be working for somebody else
Until I'm in my grave
I'll be dreaming of life of ease
And mountains o' things
      To have a big expensive car
      Drag my furs on the ground
      And have a maid that I can tell
      To bring me anything
      Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed
      I'll revel in their attention
      And mountains
      Oh mountains o' things      
To have
Sweet lazy life
Champagne and caviar
I hope you'll come and find me
Cause you know who we are
Those who deserve the best in life
And know what money's worth
And those whose sole misfortune
Was having mountains o' nothing at birth
      Oh they tell me
      There's still time to save my soul
      They tell me
      Renounce all
      Renounce all tose material things you gained by
      Exploiting other human beings
Consume more than you need
This is the dream
Make you pauper
Or make you queen
I won't die lonely
I'll have it all prearranged
A grave that's deep and wide enough
For me and all my mountains o' things
      Mostly I feel lonely
      Good good people are
      Good people are only
      My stepping stones
      It's gonna take all my mountains o' things
      To surround me
      Keep all my enemies away
      Keep my sadness and loneliness at bay
I'll be dreaming, dreaming, dreaming..
Dreaming...
