The Mountain Goats - Wage Wars Get Rich Die Handsome Lyrics

The Mountain Goats Lyrics

"Wage Wars Get Rich Die Handsome"

Floor the pedal at the green light
Watch the traffic all drift right
Barrel forward unimpeded
Switch lanes as needed
Be flexible
Be unreplaceable
In a world of heavy footprints
Be untraceable

Wage wars, get rich, die handsome
Wage wars, get rich, die handsome
Wage wars, get rich, die handsome

Live once
You get to pay twice
Keep your nose clean
Keep your wheels nice
Open highway on the horizon
Queen of queens, anima rising
Stay independent
Make adjustments as needed
It's losers all the way down
You stay undefeated
Stay undefeated

Wage wars, get rich, die handsome
Wage wars, get rich, die handsome
Wage wars, get rich, die handsome
Go

Wage wars, get rich, die handsome
Wage wars, get rich, die handsome
Wage wars, get rich, die handsome, die handsome
