The Ballad of Bacon and Eggs for Gold

I had a dream
I was a rich man's son
Life was grand
We had a lot of fun

Then suddenly
As happens in dreaming
A nightmare came
The whole world was steaming

Ran cross a bridge
made it inside the doors
I heard these sounds
there was a gigantic roar
Thunder and lightning
The winds were so frightening
people were screaming
the people were dying

Then suddenly
I was chasing my elders
asking why
but getting no answers

then suddenly
I was looking for breakfast
I was tearing into
all these small packets
Carrots and pea's
was all that I found
when suddenly
I heard this sound

Outside there was a
robin singing
gathered my things
I had to go see him
Walked out the gates
He was in the
only tree
then he flew off
but I was still hungry

So suddenly
I got this bag a gold on my back
Going from town to town
along this dusty track
I'll tell you brother
I was nearly dead on feet
I had to find me
something to eat!

Every time I wondered
onto some place
I got no food
not even a taste
Everywhere I went I saw these signs to behold
They said
Sorry boys, no bacon and eggs for gold
that's right
they said
Sorry boys, no bacon and eggs for gold.

I asked him why
he replied angrily
the yolks worth more
than all the gold you hold
Don't ask again now
cause you been told
No bacon and eggs for gold

Well I tell you
it was a sad state of affairs
I had the gold but no one cared
All I could do was keep shuffling on down the road
I just had to find some bacon and eggs for gold.

When I awoke
I was in a sweat
it was a dream I
surely won't forget
A lesson learned
and a song to be sung
a warning!
for everyone

the greedy few
will let the world explode
When it happens
you been told

don't sell em no bacon and eggs for gold!

No
no bacon and eggs for gold
been in my head
all day
I wish it would go
no bacon and eggs for gold
makes no sense
unless the world explodes

If you want to end war
and inequality
sing this
one line
lyric with me!

No bacon and eggs for gold

go away rich man
you been told

no bacon and eggs for gold

you screwed the world
you sold your soul

no bacon and eggs for gold
no bacon and eggs for gold
.
.
.

We're going to win
we're going to save the world
I know we can
know it won't be easy
Let's get to work
let the powers that be know
if you can't lead
we'll run you
off of
the road
Now

now when you're off working
for justice for everyone
turn a thought to an old man
all alone at home

a little thing
you'll feel good
just for a second
you could sing

no bacon and eggs for gold
no no rich man no no no
no bacon and eggs for gold
