Playing On Principles

By Indi Riverflow | September 26, 2014

I say, who let the nest egg loose?
What’s good for the golden goose
Is good for another excuse
Predictable predicaments
And bottomless problems
Chances misspent
As we scramble for ransom

Maybe we’ll strike platinum
Or at least some silver shekels
Fortune’s a pendulum
Hitting the pits and the pinnacles
They call it a windfall
Cause wealth is ephemeral

{Chorus}
Oh we’re gonna make it rain
We’re gonna make it flood
So better get up on the high ground
Or be knee-deep in the mud
If you’ll trade your soul for treasure
You’ve got a solid claim on neither

I came to this game
With my naivete intact
I don’t care to spend my rhythm
Trying to watch my back
Mighty generous with my trust
Not because I can, but because I must

Pocket full of intangibles
Guessin’ hard and playing on principles
Gamblin’ big on little symbols
However the cards might shuffle
The real jackpot belongs
To those who hang on all night long
For the sake of the song
For the sake of the song
