Million Dollars
Algernon Cadwallader
Million dollars
That’s a lotta money
What is it good for
Maybe it could make a difference
Maybe change the course of history
Or become a monumental failure
We’ve got a real problem ‘round here
How we gonna solve it?
Well Frank here just had a brilliant idea
Spend a million bucks on rocks
Solely to keep people from sleeping out of the rain under the freeway
What a perverse thought
What an abstract way to express your disdain
A million in rocks to eliminate negative space
They sure are keeping Portland weird these days
Those rocks were really big
We should have dropped them on your head
Whatever spills out split evenly between the other rats
Are you proud to see them in action?
When you drive on by
No one staying dry
Does it make you feel good?
Does it make you feel like a million bucks?
