Gravy Train

Less is more or so I’m told.
So why can’t I have a piece of it.
The good old apple pie.
The good old apple pie.

Fill me with promises,
Fill my bags with gold.
Fill all my hopes, with driven desire.
And I will board, the good old gravy train.

Chorus
I will follow the rules.
I will not glance sideways.
I will join with the fools, with the fools.

What do you take me for?
I’d rather cry out loud.
Don’t eat the pie, step off the train.
You are being led into a trap.
You are being led into a trap.

You’ll not hear me.
As you play by the rules.
Never questioning, choosing to ignore.
You’re on a one way ticket,
A ticket to nowhere still.

Repeat Chorus

What do you take me for?
I’d rather cry out loud.
Don’t eat the pie, step off the train.
You are being led into a trap.
You are being led into a trap.

I will be waiting,
At my welcoming door,
For your passion and reason,
To come from the core.
And only this way, will you go as you please.

Alt Chorus
You will fight all the rules.
You will glance where you like.
You will break with the fools, with the fools.
