Crushing Mountains (Radio Version) Lyrics

Siting by the lakeside

Nothing to do

Looking at mountains all covered in dew

Looking at hills reminded him of bills

So many to count

They grow in amount

Let's go through the valley and reduce their tally

Crushed them low crush them high

Pretty soon they'll go bye-bye

He started crushing mountains and stomping hills

Crushing mountains and crushing hills

He looked around and nothing was left

Made him happy no more depressed

Took to the house

To get some rest

Got inside lost his mind

There were bills everywhere

And all he could do was stare

He went back out walked across the valley

There were ten more mountains and ten more hills

So, he got really busy and started his morning drill

He started crushing mountains and crushing hills

This story is about 25 monks are in a room

Seven playing pool the rest are in school

Teacher laying down rules about how to be good

Stay away from drugs and you won't get mugged

Pass the alcohol when you have to drive

Participate and graduate to get food on your plate

It's all about being good and staying as you should

And doing what you think is right because that's the way to fight in life that's the way to fight in life

They say that time is so unfeeling and that monks in a room are unappealing

So are bugs unappealing, and so are hands unappealing, but bugs help the soil grow rich and hands help the people cross the stormy river

They both lead us to a better world

But the rest of the story goes like this it says

Eight of those monks robbed a bank five got shot and got gone three went to prison never saw the light of day again

Ten other monks stole gold and diamonds winded up hiding out in Siberia for the rest of their lives

Let's just remember

This story is about 25 monks are in a room

Seven playing pool the rest are in school

Teacher laying down rules about how to be good

Stay away from drugs and you won't get mugged

Pass the alcohol when you have to drive

Participate and graduate to get food on your plate

It's all about being good and staying as you should

And doing what you think is right because that's the way to fight in life that's the way to fight in life

But the rest of the story goes like this it says

The seven monks playing pool all stayed in school they thought it was cool just to live by the rules

They never became rich but never lived in a ditch, they all stayed good as you should

They all had 25 monks in a room seven were playing pool the others in school

Ten other monks drove to California got good jobs selling cars and computer chips took a vacation to Siberia to see their friends who had listeria

But they had to go to say their bye byes and took to the skies

Ten other monks became soldiers

Learned to salute and say thank you

Never no trouble got married lived the middle side of life and put up with the strife
