Dollar Signs In Her Eyes — The Dead Milkmen

She's tripping over the flowers in her garden The weeds are growin' high She dropped her laundry off at school And hung her children on her clothesline to dry

She's throwing trash in her swimmin' pool She's pouring chlorine on her lawn You might think she needs a pair of glasses But, no, my friend you're wrong

She cannot see the beauty in a tree Or in the life that it supplies This should not strike you as a mystery For she has dollar signs in her eyes She has dollar signs in her eyes Dollar signs in her eyes

She's crashin' her car in an intersection She did not see the light She's walkin' round and round in a shoppin' mall As if she had no sight

Dreams are only clouds That form and dissipate The sky is a highway for metal birds And land is real estate

She does not understand her world depends Upon a history of lies She walks right by all her old high school friends For she has dollar signs in her eyes She has dollar signs in her eyes Dollar signs in her eyes
