about

"Riding Low" sets the stage for Tales from Earth Incorporated, with its look into the minds of those who get caught up in money, money, and more money, at any cost to anyone but themselves. The "evil boss" appears during the song's bridge.

"Riding Low" sets the stage for Tales From Earth, Inc. with its look into the minds of those who get caught up in money, money, and more money, at any cost to anyone but themselves. The "evil boss" appears during the song's bridge.

Gotta keep up with the Joneses, gotta keep up with the Smiths
Gotta keep up with Ramirez and that Summer home of his
Gotta buy the biggest TV, finish the basement for the kids
Gotta buy a brand new sports car, impress the folks over at the biz

Riding low and flying high! Accumulate until I die!

Gotta keep up with the Dow Jones, build up that portfolio
Get into big oil, diamond mines and Polly-o
Invest in weapons manufacturing and anything that sells
And tell your sore loser friends they can all just go to hell!

Riding low and flying high! Accumulate until I die!

We’ll sink the competition ’til they can’t feed their kids
Do anything it takes to keep the costs below the lid
Keep the shareholders smiling as they open their returns
Anything cutting into profits is anything that burns
Anything cutting precious profits is anything that burns!

Gotta have a life a thousand times more fancy than the rest
Prove to friends and strangers that our family’s the best
And if you want to be like us and surely that’s the quest
Cut me in and I can tell you all just how you should invest

Riding low and flying high! Accumulate until you die!

There’s even something for you if you don’t want to fuss
Over where the money’s going, you can set up a blind trust
No need to be concerned about where it’s going in the end
Just think about the returns, the rewards are yours to spend

Riding low and flying high! Accumulate until you die!

We’ll sink the competition ’til they can’t feed their kids
Do anything it takes to keep the costs below the lid
Keep the shareholders smiling when they open their returns
Anything cutting into profits is anything that burns
Anything cutting precious profits is anything that burns!

You know I just can’t wait for heaven, gotta have it hear on Earth
‘Cause I’ve earned it with my skills and circumstances of my birth
Buy myself designer suits and Gucci handbags for the wife
Dress her in mink coats and diamonds gonna show her the sweet life

Riding low and flying high! Accumulate until we die...

Don’t worry about the things that you might hear on the news
About all the corporate greed and all the human rights abuse
It’s just a bunch of bleeding hearts who waste their energy
On helping other people instead of you and me

Riding low and flying high! Accumulate until we die!
