Nest Egg

Our nest egg may be rotten
And all our dreams forgotten
But I am not down-trodden
I’m a-floatin'
And you might say I’m a-driftin'
Just a sifter out siftin'
But the point is listenin'
On the way
And now my bow is a listing
There’s no oil in my piston
And the shot I fire is missin'
From my gun
It’s a lie
It’s a lie
It’s a lie that you gotta be the big man
The big man in this world
It’s a lie
Oh it’s a lie
It’s a lie that you gotta be the big man
The big man in this world
And now our nest egg’s rotten
But our love is not forgotten
And I am not a down-trodden
I’m a-floatin'
