Too Many ELO Days Songtext
von Timeshares

How can I ever believe this is a crisis when you know the answers because you were the cause of this?
The only crisis that I see was 1933 when you declared bankruptcy.
Now the rats in my hallway are only eating every other day.
And quitting time is always on my mind.
I'd burn the check if it would keep me warm.
It's not worth a thing until it's backed in gold, like the jewelry we sold to pay our credit cards.
We all deserve to sweat a little less for all the things we drag ourselves to our jobs for, but I find myself sweating more.
My folks were lying to me, it turns out money grows on trees. How could it be so easy to start production at the mint, swing the axe, hit print and watch it all come tumbling down?
You've got bats in your belfry if you think I'm believing what you're telling me.
And losing time is always on my mind.
I'm losing my mind at the same time.
It's not worth a thing until it's backed in gold, like the jewelry we sold to pay our credit cards.
We all deserve to sweat a little less for all the things we drag ourselves to our jobs for, but I find myself sweating more.
If only I could shade myself but those trees don't grow in my backyard.
