Land of the Bottom Line Lyrics

Land of the Bottom Line
by John Gorka
I have chorded the song as if played in first postion.
However, he plays with a capo at the 4th fret.
Intro: Basically same as the Verse
Verse:
I couldn't bribe a wino, on what I used to make
My fortune was as sure as the wind
But I was free to wonder, time was on my hands
It was mine to burn and to bend
Chorus:
Freedom for freedom, call that an even scheme
Give me time to wonder and to dream
I'll take the money, they'll take the time
Down to the land of the bottom line
To the bottom line.
Verses
Then there came a chance, to make some steady dough
Bouncing up my alley to the door
You fill your clothes with keys, and dammned responsibilities
Trading the maybe for the sure.
(Chorus)
All I ever wanted, was to be a kid and play
Fighting every change along the way
I don't like work, I don't like waste
And I don't like waiting for a taste.
(Chorus)
