One of These Days Lyrics
one of these days i'll make some money and buy myself those things that i want. acrylic paints, acoustic guitar strings, a new bicycle seat. i might ride over to your house each night. one of these days i'll get a real job. one that actually pays, like my dad had. and you know my father, the bartender. he used to wear a suit to work before he hit the drink. the old man, he used to do a lot of things. one of these days i'll give up and give into the man.
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
one of these days i'll give up and give into the MAN.
i have a live video where it comes out very clear, before i could never figure out either. such a good song, though.
i think it's "a new bicycle seat for my ride over to your house each night."
in any case, real pretty song. this album is already one of my favorites.
he usually switches some lyrics around live so you cant ever really trust the live show for what he says on the record.
this song is so simple and beautiful. it leaves me wanting a much simpler life.
Ah!
this song is my favorite song to listen to when i wake up
makes me think of how addicting consumerism, spawned by "narcissistic capitalism," can be. and how it can jade one's perspective on what is truly important in this life.
"one of these days i'll give up and give into the man."
Erich Fromm wrote a book called "To Have or To Be" that speaks of the same topic.
