about

Not the Neil Young song.

lyrics

Well I don’t know how the whole thing started
I only know what the neighbors tell me
Sometimes actions get so misguided
So I’m sitting back in my cinderblock garden
And the sky’s still blue through my rose colored glasses
After the Gold Rush

They’re having a sale at the supermarket
On picks and shovels and Cinderella dresses
Cheer up baby it’s only money
And I still have the plaque that the company gave me
And I still look cool in my leather jacket
After the Gold Rush

Well the lights are out at the factory
The van is packed and ready to leave
The tumbleweeds tumble in the breeze
And the birds are singing in the trees
Oh how happy we will be

I don’t know when the party ended
I only know what the tv feeds me
Simple things get so complicated
So I’m kicking back with my feet elevated
And I feel even better in my turtleneck sweater
After the Gold Rush

They’re camping out along the highway
From the Golden Gate down to Silicon Valley
Cheer up baby It’s kinda funny
And I still have the wine from the Christmas party
And I’m never alone when I’ve got my cellphone
After the Gold Rush
