Mug Tree Blues

from Me & Billy The Kid by Joe Solo

/

about

I despise the culture of greasy-pole ambition, of people so desperate to rise up the ladder that they'll trample over anyone to get there. It is an ugly trait and is ultimately self-defeating for both the individual and humanity as a whole. Reject it.

lyrics

I'm veering outta here and taking the track
I'm leaving this road and I ain't looking back
I'm heading out
I'm heading out
Been so long locked in this life
That I've forgotten what it's about

They took and took I've nothing left to give
It's money in your pocket but it ain't no way to live
I'm heading out
I'm heading out
Been so long locked in this life
That I've forgotten what it's about

I've seen 'em laughing at the top of the tree
But they've got all they're gonna get from me
I'm heading out
I'm heading out
Been so long locked in this life
That I've forgotten what it's about
