lyrics

Socrates was wise cause he's humble
Watching the bumblebees bumble
Dreaming up questions that nobody's answered
In over two millennia.

Suzie's homemade lemonade shakers
Crooked politicians and bankers
Sit on a wall, sit on a wall
Come watch America prosper.

People say we used to work harder
A dollar would get you much farther
The man's got his hands on everyone's land
And he thinks that he's that much smarter.

Californian tourists with cameras
Tanning salons and cabanas
Mountains and trees that nobody sees
From Oregon to Montana.

Crowds of people amassing
Watching the summer days passing
The end of the day seems so far away
Till that sunset comes flashing.
