LIVING IN ALUMINUM
Antsy McClain?

There's a lot to be said about contentment.
Some folks never get enough.
Let me ask you honey, which is better:
A mansion full of money, or a trailer full of love?

There's a lot to be said about acceptance,
Liking who you are, and having peace of mind.
The secret's being happy with your lot in life, baby,
And I'm pretty happy here in lot number nine.

Living in aluminum.

I don't need a house of vinyl.
I don't need a house of wood.
There ain't no better way to test your mettle
Than in a semi-precious metal neighborhood.

There's a lot to be said about conviction:
Live the golden rule with God on your side.
But don't forget another code of living:
The aluminum rule: thou shalt enjoy the ride!

Having it all is like putting up a wall around you.
You'll be a slave to the treasure as you measure every nickel and dime.
Soon you're gonna see a big pile of debris surround you.
And I'll be sure and send you a postcard from Freedom some time.
