Из альбома: Greatest Hits Volume I 1973-1977

Anthony works in the grocery store
Savin' his pennies for someday
Mama Leone left a note on the door,
She said,
\"Sonny, move out to the country.\"
Workin' too hard can give me
A heart attack
You oughta know by now
Who needs a house out in Hackensack?
Is that what you get with your money?

CHORUS
It seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
If that's movin' up then I'm movin' out.

Sergeant O'Leary is walkin'' the beat
At night he becomes a bartender
He works at Mister Cacciatore's down
On Sullivan Street
Across fromhe medical center
He's tradin' in his Checy for a Cadillac
You oughta know by now
And if he can't drive
With a broken back
At least he can polish the fenders

CHORUS

You should never argue with a crazy mind
You oughta know by now
You can pay Uncle Sam with overtime
Is that all you get for your money?

CHORUS

Супер-песня. Услышала ее в концерте по каналу Культура, и вот наконец нашла.

Потрясающе! Июнь 1980-го,когда перед Олимпиадой в Москве открыли Radio Moscow Service, мы впервые услышали - и записали - совершенно неизвестные нам песни, открыли для себя "Чингиз-Хан", "Баккару" и Джоэла. Как сейчас помню, сидим с приятелем и пишем на катушечный магнитофон эту песню, с завываниями эфира и треском... Спасибо, Билли!
