Band: Passion Pit
Song: Take a Walk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZX6Q-Bj_xgIt's not necessarily mustachian per se..but it does take a walk through several 'case studies' of people, shining light on several money-related themes like 'American Dream' expectations, Keeping up with the Joneses, and the perils, misguided views, and mistakes of many
"Practice isn't perfect
With the market cuts and loss
I remind myself that times could be much worse
My wife won't ask me questions
And there's not so much to ask
And she'll never flaunt around an empty purse
Once my mother-in-law came
Just to stay a couple nights
Then decided she would stay the rest of her life
I watch my little children, play some board game in the kitchen
And I sit and pray they never feel my strife
But then my partner called to say the pension funds were gone
He made some bad investments
Now the 'counts are overdrawn"
Honey it's your son* I think I borrowed just too much
We had taxes we had bills
We had a lifestyle to front
And tonight I swear I'll come home
And we'll make love like we're young
And tomorrow you'll cook dinner
For the neighbors and the kids
We could rip apart those socialists
And all their damn taxes
You'll see I am no criminal
I'm down on both bad knees
I'm just too much a coward
To admit when I'm in need"
* not quite sure why the son is coming home to make love with his honey (i.e. his mother?) Other than that, great song!
