She's been tripping over the flowers in her garden   The weeds are growing high   She dropped her laundry off at school   And hung her children on the clothesline to dry   She's throwing trash in her swimming pool   She's pouring chlorine on her lawn   You might think she needs a pair of glasses   But, no, my friend you're wrong       She cannot see the beauty in a tree   Or in the life that it supplies   This should not strike you as a mystery   For she has dollar signs in her eyes       She's crashing her car in an intersection   She did not see the light   She's walking round and round in a shopping mall   As if she had no sight   Dreams are only clouds   That form and dissipate   The sky is a highway for metal birds   And land is real estate       She does not understand her world depends   Upon a history of lies   She walks right by all her old high school friends   For she has dollar signs in her eyes
