about
This is one of the first songs Bombino wrote. It focuses on friendship and the difficulty of maintaining relationships with old friends in the midst of new monetary wealth. He warns that materialism can destroy the simple life where values of friendship, honor and dignity are cherished.
lyrics
Another life is the hardest life in that it separates friends
It separates friends because it doesn't allow for heritage
We follow material goods and forget our relationships
We leave our friends because of money
We fool our friends because of material things
Are material things more important than men?
It separates friends because it doesn't allow for heritage
We follow material goods and forget our relationships
We leave our friends because of money
We fool our friends because of material things
Are material things more important than men?
