Such a clever song about the folly of materialism. The narrator is just a typical American striver whose dreams of greatness are more important than their values.\n\nIt\'s gonna take all my mountains o\' things\nTo surround me\nKeep all my enemies away\nKeep my sadness and loneliness at bay\n\nAin\'t gonna work
