As far to the East the oceans roar As far to the West the mountains did not care Listen, did you hear that sound? Another acre hits the ground Houses bought and houses built While bank accounts erase the guilt Puny men with narrow minds The richest man I ever knew Still left it all behind As far to the East the oceans roar As far to the West the mountains did not care As far to the East the oceans roar As far to the West the mountains did not care Come on children, go to school And learn to live the golden rule Get paid the most to work the least Exploit the man, enslave the beast Pompous men, so full of pride The smartest man I ever knew Still lived his life and died As far to the East the oceans roar As far to the West the mountains did not care As far to the East the oceans roar As far to the West the mountains did not care Yippie yi yaaaaay Yippie yi Ohhhhh Yippie yi yaaaaay Yippie yi Ohhhhh Ghost riders in the sky Listen, dont you understand That noone owns a promised land? The winds still blow, the rains still fall The trees dont seem to care at all Silly fool, the willow sighs The wisest man I ever knew Lived long ago, and died. As far to the East the oceans roar As far to the West the mountains did not care As far to the East the oceans roar As far to the West the mountains did not care As far to the East the oceans roar As far to the West the mountains did not care As far to the East the oceans roar As far to the West the mountains did not care
