Lyrics
I’m going to do what I like I’m going to live how I want I’m going to build myself a great estate With lots of statues out front Choirs from the Curtis Institute Singing me to sleep Wake up and worship the great gold sheep I’m going to walk the pathways of the ancients I’m going to let my name be known I’m going to see the wild haunts of this world And carve a place out all my own Heat up the iron until it glows Burn the brand so deep Wake up and worship the great gold sheep There’s only one, splendid and fine The ages attest it’s wondrous design You and me stand somehow above the fray And name everyone who’s throwing their chance away I’m going to write my name on everything I’m going to leave a lasting legacy And when my body’s thrown with great force from a window The dogs will fight for whatever’s left of me Shallow grave among the weeds Where the pale worms creep Wake up and worship the great gold sheep
