3 Big Bags - Dink

So you feel like you’re all grown up now

A great big fish in a great big town

With the whole wide world at your fingertips

All slicked back and ruby lipped

An all-star player at the front of the line

Kissing lots of ass and working overtime

You got real good at acting your age

You’re a bird in search of a cage

Ever since you were young it’s been push, push, push

And now looking back it seems torturous

You say I’m the greatest thing that this worlds ever seen

My mommy and daddy wouldn’t lie to me

They gave me everything that they thought I would need

A sack of gold and a sack of leaves

Hit me real good and screamed with rage

Now I’m a bird in search of a cage

A sack of gold, a sack of leaves

A sack of dirt for us to eat

Cross the road, walk the tracks

Open your eyes and don’t look back

You got an 8-ball in your coat and some money in your wallet

A hundred dollar bill is rolled up in your pocket

It’s a fast, fast world for a fast, fast guy

The king of the hill with your head in the sky

You sold that sack of gold a long time ago

And the big bag of leaves was getting old

Strutting around like you’re on a stage

Dirty little bird found a dirty little cage

Time’s gone by and you’re feeling pretty old

All your friends stopped calling back a long time ago

You know there’s something missing but you don’t know what

It ain’t money, ain’t power, ain’t a silky little slut

You?

re a time bomb, time bomb born without a fuse

Credit’s running out and the bills are coming due

Now your wings are all shriveled and you?

re counting up your days

The door’s always open but you love your filthy cage
