Lyric of the Day #36: “Supply and Demand,” by Amos Lee

6 Jul

Amos Lee

As everyone begins day numero uno of this new work week let us get to some lyrics to set the week off right. Well, it looks like Amos Lee, the soulful singer-songwriter from Philidelphia, Pennsylvania has a useful philosophy in his lyric for “Supply and Demand” He sings:

Well your wife and your baby
You tell them yeah well maybe
I’ll meet y’all at a weekend resort
But your eyes on the prize
And you can’t realize
That your little girl’s life’s so short

Brother you need a plan
Oh to understand
That life ain’t only supply and demand

Yeah sister you need a plan
Oh to understand
That life ain’t only supply and demand

“Supply and Demand,” by Amos Lee off of Supply And Demand

These truthful lyrics off of the Title track of Lee’s 2006 album Supply And Demand make a good point. Life is not only about making money. So, on this monday take this philosophy to heart and if you do have kids get home maybe 20-30 minutes earlier and bring a pack of baseball cards or a doll or something. I’ll take the baseball cards.
