Man in a silk tie heads downtown Setting up the pins for knocking 'em down People in cars all rushing around Setting up the pins
Let's get rich find a way around Setting up the pins for knocking 'em down We'll get gadget with a whirring sound For setting up the pins
Everyone everywhere some way some how Are setting up the pins for knocking 'em down
You can find joy in the fertile ground Setting up the pins and knocking 'em down You can try to fight it till you're anger drowned Setting up the pins
Everyone everywhere some way some how Are setting up the pins for knocking 'em down It can feel simple but it's really profound Setting up the pins
Rent a tent, build a stage, throw a party, get a gown Buy a ticket, rent a car, pack a bag and leave town, Cook a dinner, clean the kitchen hit the light Brush your teeth, read a book, say a prayer good-night
Everyone everywhere some way some how Are setting up the pins for knocking 'em down It can feel simple but it's really profound...
My grandmother had a working song Hummed it low all day long Sing for the beauty that's to be found In setting up the pins for knocking 'em down
