3 Big Bags Lyrics - Singles - Dink

So you feel like you're all grown up now 

A great big fish in a great big town 

With the whole wide world at your fingertips 

All slicked back and ruby lipped 

An all-star player at the front of the line 

Kissing lots of ass and working overtime 

You got real good at acting your age 

You're a bird in search of a cage 

Ever since you were young it's been push, push, push 

And now looking back it seems torturous 

You say I'm the greatest thing that this worlds ever seen 

My mommy and daddy wouldn't lie to me 

They gave me everything that they thought I would need 

A sack of gold and a sack of leaves 

Hit me real good and screamed with rage 

Now I'm a bird in search of a cage 

A sack of gold, a sack of leaves 

A sack of dirt for us to eat 

Cross the road, walk the tracks 

Open your eyes and don't look back 

You got an 8-ball in your coat and some money in your wallet 

A hundred dollar bill is rolled up in your pocket 

It's a fast, fast world for a fast, fast guy 

The king of the hill with your head in the sky 

You sold that sack of gold a long time ago 

And the big bag of leaves was getting old 

Strutting around like you're on a stage 

Dirty little bird found a dirty little cage 

Time's gone by and you're feeling pretty old 

All your friends stopped calling back a long time ago 

You know there's something missing but you don't know what 

It ain't money, ain't power, ain't a silky little slut 

Youre a time bomb, time bomb born without a fuse 

Credit's running out and the bills are coming due 

Now your wings are all shriveled and youre counting up your days 

The door's always open but you love your filthy cage
