Never Gonna Be Rich Lyrics - A Sucker's Dream - The Alternate Routes

You push the pedal but the thing won't go 

You try and learn it but you just don't know 

Who's holding bullets for your twisted gun 

You've spun it so that I may be the one 

What will your wounded soldier spell 

He's playing dead among the things that he will never tell 

When will your wounded soul just see 

That nothing here grows out of secrecy 

You say you're never gonna be rich 

Well how you ever gonna know 

If you never open your eyelids 

Tell me how you're gonna find gold 

You're telling me you've never been kissed 

Well maybe that's the way it goes 

But if you never learn to take nothing 

How you gonna learn to let go 

You're moving on or are you running scared 

It won't be long before the game gets fair 

You sit in silence and you plead your case 

You call it wisdom but they're just mistakes 

They'll never need you back in Oregon 

Can't build no story on the same old song 

Giving up is such a bitter taste 

I see the sour growing on your face 

You say you're never gonna be rich 

Well how you ever gonna know 

If you never open your eyelids 

Tell me how you're gonna find gold 

You're telling me you've never been kissed 

Well maybe that's the way it goes 

But if you never learn to take nothing 

How you gonna learn to let go 

You say you're never gonna be rich 

Well how you ever gonna know 

If you never open your eyelids 

Tell me how you're gonna find gold
