Man in a silk tie heads downtown Setting up the pins for knocking em down People in cars all rushing around Setting up the pins Let's get rich find a way around Setting up the pins for knocking em down We'll get gadget with a whirring sound For setting up the pins Everyone everywhere some way some how Are setting up the pins for knocking em down You can find joy in the fertile ground Setting up the pins and knocking em down You can try to fight it till you're anger drowned Setting up the pins Everyone everywhere some way some how Are setting up the pins for knocking em down It can feel simple but it's really profound Setting up the pins Rent a tent, build a stage, throw a party, get a gown Buy a ticket, rent a car, pack a bag and leave town, Cook a dinner, clean the kitchen hit the light Brush your teeth, read a book, say a prayer good-night Everyone everywhere some way some how Are setting up the pins for knocking em down It can feel simple but it's really profound... My grandmother had a working song Hummed it low all day long Sing for the beauty that's to be found In setting up the pins for knocking em down
