Nest Egg - The Phoenix Foundation

Our nest egg may be rotten

And all our dreams forgotten

But I am not down-trodden

I’m a-floatin'

And you might say I’m a-driftin'

Just a sifter out siftin'

But the point is listenin'

On the way

And now my bow is a listing

There’s no oil in my piston

And the shot I fire is missin'

From my gun

It’s a lie

It’s a lie

It’s a lie that you gotta be the big man

The big man in this world

It’s a lie

Oh it’s a lie

It’s a lie that you gotta be the big man

The big man in this world

And now our nest egg’s rotten

But our love is not forgotten

And I am not a down-trodden

I’m a-floatin'
