Another superb track on the "Tea For the Tillerman" album. This song is NOT a rejection of religion. It's a rejection of materialism, and the 20th century American "gotta get a slice of the pie" materialist work ethic. It's about growing up SPIRITUALLY and realizing that life is so much more than just "doing time" at a hard job in order to be able to "get stuff". I was about 13 when this album came out and I used to play this track over and over again at full volume. The result? I'm a responsible husband and father of two who spends BALANCED time between work and family. Thanks Cat!
