It's so rare and wonderful to hear songs that aren't about relationship drama. And I gotta say, even when The Crane Wives do songs about relationship stuff, they do them with exquisite complexity.
I'm surprised this song doesn't have that many comments. This really realates to the world we live in today. I love this song, its one of my favorites. THANK YOU CRANE WIVES!!!!😁😘❤
Lyrics: I've seen good men spoiled Chained to their jobs like hounds They work and sleep and work again In the darkest nights they howl Their cries are a warning To everyone following No man should stand to work all of his days And have nothing at the end of them I got no money but the change That jingles in my pockets Reminding me how little I have And as for time I am Powerless to stop it It keeps rambling on like a mad, wandering man My papa was a howlin' man Traded in his youth Sold his dreams and all of his days For the great American ruse And my dear papa gave me Lessons in regret He said all that he'd done would be for nothing If I followed in his steps I got no money but the change That jingles in my pockets Reminding me how little I have And as for time I am Powerless to stop it It keeps rambling on like a mad, wandering man My papa taught me how to howl How to bare my teeth and growl He taught me that the hand that feeds Deserves to be bitten when it beats He taught me how to break my chains And that money ain't worth a thing And that no man should get More of my time than me, than me I may never be a rich man But I can, make sure that I am free I may never be a rich man The rich man will never have me, never have me I may never be a rich man But I can make sure that I am free I may never be a rich man The rich man will never have me, never have me I got no money but the change That jangles in my pockets Reminding me how little I have But as for time, as for time It's mine, it's mine
5 years ago I was the owner operator of a masonry business. Some turmoil in my life and some greedy people put such a bad taste in my mouth for the great American ruse. That I decided I would not trade every waking hour of my life for some trinkets that nothing was more valuable then my time and my freedom. I haven't punched a clock for those entire five years and I have more money then I have ever had. Be a decent human being and do what is morally right and distance yourself from the people that are toxic to you and things will work out for you .........one more thing .......love is sacred never never never use it in a improper manor or the universe will punish you severely
Oh to answer all three of you. It made the song unrelatable as a foreigner abd it made it feel like yet more American whelching of "woe is me, the trains are 5minutes late"
0:10 was trying to think what this tune sounded similar too, to me and then i finau realised its fucking MINECRAFT "Wet Hands" 😭 Also fun fact "Wet Hands" starts exactly the same as "Mr. Sandman" by the Chordettes but slower

Lyrics:
I've seen good men spoiled
Chained to their jobs like hounds
They work and sleep and work again
In the darkest nights they howl
Their cries are a warning
To everyone following
No man should stand to work all of his days
And have nothing at the end of them
I got no money but the change
That jingles in my pockets
Reminding me how little I have
And as for time I am
Powerless to stop it
It keeps rambling on like a mad, wandering man
My papa was a howlin' man
Traded in his youth
Sold his dreams and all of his days
For the great American ruse
And my dear papa gave me
Lessons in regret
He said all that he'd done would be for nothing
If I followed in his steps
I got no money but the change
That jingles in my pockets
Reminding me how little I have
And as for time I am
Powerless to stop it
It keeps rambling on like a mad, wandering man
My papa taught me how to howl
How to bare my teeth and growl
He taught me that the hand that feeds
Deserves to be bitten when it beats
He taught me how to break my chains
And that money ain't worth a thing
And that no man should get
More of my time than me, than me
I may never be a rich man
But I can, make sure that I am free
I may never be a rich man
The rich man will never have me, never have me
I may never be a rich man
But I can make sure that I am free
I may never be a rich man
The rich man will never have me, never have me
I got no money but the change
That jangles in my pockets
Reminding me how little I have
But as for time, as for time
It's mine, it's mine
this is unreasonably good! what the heck? this is going on all my playlists rn

I went to a Crane Wives concert over the summer. I think I died when they played this song. Best experience of my life.

Oh the American ruse. Kinda ruined the song for me that line
If I may ask, why?
why?
Why?
Oh to answer all three of you.
