lyrics

LIVIN’ THE DREAM-David Ricciuti

Bumma’s in the backyard
Cuttin’ up his cars
Trying to make a Cummins fit
With a hammer and crowbar

I ask him how he’s travelling
His hands fly in the air
He say’s take a look around you son
There’s absurdness everywhere

PRE CHORUS
We’ve got the airport to the southwest and the
Shit farm to the east
Speedway track’s just down the road
And the wind knocks me off of my feet

CHORUS
We’re livin’ the dream
We’re livin’ the dream
We’re all livin’ in paradise brother
We’re livin’ the dream

Peanut’s in his garden shed
Makin stainless bolts
Rantin’ how the world’s gone mad
Of course none of it’s his fault

He don’t get how his brilliance
Is so misunderstood
As he loads his one foot fireplace
Up with two foot lengths of wood

PRE CHORUS
CHORUS
SOLO

Blacky’s in the the hospital
To get his elbow fixed
Discussing with the nursing staff
The procedure and the risks

The doctor points with laughter
To Blacky’s disbelief
His gown was back to front in haste
He was wearing his Ex-Wife’s briefs

PRE CHORUS
CHORUS x 2
