about

Ecclissiastes is the source of much inspiration, early existentialism... The Sun Also Rises, Underneath the Sun, For Every Season Turn Turn Turn, all is vanity and vexation of spirit, that place from which the waters flow, thither they go again... and now The Preacher.

lyrics

Grandfather's gone and so is father
how much longer can mother last
and look who's next

i'm foolin around wastin away
more frivolous supercilious each day serious play

chorus:
as one generation passes away I listen to the preacher say
eat drink sleep rise and be merry
for who can say what will follow
who can say what will follow?

refrain:
the last of a cigarette like the bottom of a beer
half way through the swagger I use to rule the mirror

2.
I'm vain as a rooster vexation on my mind
my knowledge and possessions are dust
underneath the sun

my vineyards and my servants multiply like rabbits
my land abundant reaches as far as I can see
far as I can see - to chorus
