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 (x2)

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 (x2)

Dollar signs in her eyes
