IVORY TOWER



IVORY TOWER

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019

GO AHEAD AND PASS THE DAY
ANYWAY YOU PLEASE
NOWHERE YOU HAVE TO BE
NO ONE THAT YOU HAVE TO SEE
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO
FREE AS THE AIR IN THE SKY
AND DEEP AS BLUE
 YOU KNOW ITS TRUE

YOU HAVE AN ANSWER
BUT THERE'S
 NO ONE THERE TO TELL
JUST THE ECHO OF YOUR WORDS
IN AN EMPTY HALL 
YOU LOOK INTO THE MIRROR
YOU STAND UP STRAIGHT AND TALL
NOTHING TO WORRY
NO CONCERNS AT ALL

YOU COUNT YOUR MONEY
AND WATCH IT GROW
YOU ALWAYS MAKE SURE
 YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW
YOU CHECK YOUR BALANCE
AND SMILE
YOU'LL CHECK IT AGAIN IN AWHILE

YOU LOOK DOWN ON EVERYONE
FROM YOUR IVORY TOWER
GETTING RICHER BY THE HOUR
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE
TO BE A DOLLAR FROM THE END
HUNGRY EMPTY
 NO PROMISE OF ANOTHER DAY

YOU DON'T KNOW
YOU CAN'T TELL
YOU'VE NEVER FELL
YOU SPEND YOUR TIME ALONE
ITS HARD TO LOVE
 A HEART OF STONE

YOU MIGHT BE RICH
BUT YOU POOR FOOL
ALL ON YOUR OWN
TRAPPED IN A VAULT
WITH ALL YOUR MONEY
BUT SO WHAT
WHY WOULD YOU
 HELP SOMEONE IN NEED
ARE YOU AFRAID
TO FIND OUT WHAT IT FEELS LIKE
TO DO A GOOD DEED 
GO AHEAD
AND PASS THE DAY
ANYWAY YOU PLEASE
IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE
