Joeys' in the trash can
looking for his lunch.
Thought he saw a sandwich
thought he saw a bunch.

Billys' right behind him,
ready for the kill.
If Joey don't find them,
Billy surely will.

What are these hours
we pass up to our grave?
Units of the moment
divisions of the days.

We're riding high all summer,
but it's winter after fall.
With the changing seasons,
so our life goes after all.

Joey was the Premier.
He escaped the new regime.
Billy was his general
or so it woud seem.

When they rose to power
Thought they had it made!
but with the changing season,
so mans' glory fades.

You think that you’re the only one
that’s been on the bottom rung of life,
until you recognize a face
that was headed down
as you were headed up.
