As far to the East the oceans roar As far to the West the mountains did not care
Listen, did you hear that sound? Another acre hits the ground Houses bought and houses built While bank accounts erase the guilt Puny men with narrow minds The richest man I ever knew Still left it all behind
As far to the East the oceans roar As far to the West the mountains did not care As far to the East the oceans roar As far to the West the mountains did not care
Come on children, go to school And learn to live the golden rule Get paid the most to work the least Exploit the man, enslave the beast Pompous men, so full of pride The smartest man I ever knew Still lived his life and died
As far to the East the oceans roar As far to the West the mountains did not care As far to the East the oceans roar As far to the West the mountains did not care
Yippie yi yaaaaay Yippie yi Ohhhhh Yippie yi yaaaaay Yippie yi Ohhhhh Ghost riders in the sky
Listen, don't you understand That no-one owns a promised land? The winds still blow, the rains still fall The trees don't seem to care at all "Silly fool," the willow sighs, "The wisest man I ever knew "Lived long ago, and died."
As far to the East the oceans roar As far to the West the mountains did not care As far to the East the oceans roar As far to the West the mountains did not care As far to the East the oceans roar As far to the West the mountains did not care As far to the East the oceans roar As far to the West the mountains did not care
