Another prescient song by Joni. Released in 1970, it foretold the change from the cultural idealism of 1960s and early 1070s to the decade of greed in the 1980s, the song warns that consumerism funded by over-leveraging credit is not good. She implores the person who she wrote the song for to find a better life and do something meaningful (and I think Joni would have preferred if he did it without his wife) :-) I hear this song, look around me and see the lyrics as an epitaph for some baby boomers.
