When the Conomy Grows

from Gold, Sapphire & Plum by Ethan Andrews

/

lyrics

When the ‘conomy grows, it will be right on time
And the squares will turn to diamonds all across the bottom line.
When the ‘conomy grows, I’m gonna hang out my shingle
And all the bad thoughts and memories will mingle with match smoke in my nose
And when the new jobs grow, they will cover the old
And our cups will overflow, and we will need no sugar.

Grabbed my jeans and tried to run. You can’t stop it.
My middle finger flipped out like a gun in my pocket
With eyes like two white dots
Do you like this city or what?
Can you separate the high from low?
In this scene, you just can’t know
The things I said for free when I thought it didn’t matter

When the ‘conomy grows, it will make a nice smell.
There will be beatings and the losers will be receiving them well.
When the ‘comony grows, I’m gonna wear it.
Count your fingers and toes, hold your sniffling nose if you think I’m gonna share.
When the milk lets down on the pork loin of progress
Many pans will brown, and the contrast will complement our faces.

Grabbed my jeans and tried to run. You can’t stop it.
My middle finger flipped out like a gun in my pocket
With eyes like two white dots
Do you like this city or what?
Can you separate the high from low?
In this scene, you just can’t know
The things I said for free when I thought it didn’t matter.

Grabbed my jeans and tried to run, I can’t stop it.
My middle finger flipped out like a gun in my pocket
With eyes like two white dots
Am I camera-ready or what?
Well I never made it, but I can say that I got real clothes.

Looks good in a coonskin cap, but then you can't just wear one of those all the time without having to answer a lot of questions.
