Chasing the Wild Goose Lyrics

there was a man who banged his head against a wall he banged for 20 years, the damn thing wouldn't fall he left an honest life he left a broken wife he left it all behind, just to see what he could find millions and millions chase the wild goose tonight to conquer loneliness they'll chase it all their lives and when they find it they can just lay down and die it seems the game is mostly pointless in the presence of the prize. there was a woman who had a man as cold as ice he built four walls so strong and he kept her locked inside she harbored loneliness her husband couldn't guess that she'd take off her dress and kill herself without a mess.

"It seems the game is mostly pointless in the presence of the prize." Greg is a poet. There's nothing more that can be said.

Oh, and Jawbreaker does this song a million times better, and they didn't even write it.

This song seems to be about unhappy people who are so desperate for happiness, they will do whatever they think it takes to find it, even if it means leaving or mistreating their own wives. But they never find true happiness. And by trying so hard to find happiness, they only make their lives worse and worse.
