When all is gone, and things go wrong,
We don′t need them anymore.
The artifice and all they lack,
We don't need them anymore.
I don′t have the means, and so it seems
For now I can't participate.
But I've waited long,
Now the dollar′s strong again,
I still can′t participate.
When we don't consume it seems we are immune
To all of the thoughts they sell,
You know as well as I, that′s a lie...
'Cause I want to spend, I want to spend,
In a never-ending story, but it always ends.
I want to spend, I want to spend,
In a never-ending story, but it always ends.
And when I die, the angels will try
To count all my belongings.
To measure my worth, pure gold, solid dirt,
To see if I′m worth keeping.
But the house I rent and the car I drive,
I'm sorry but they ain′t mine.
You know as well as I, that's no lie...
'Cause I want to spend, I want to spend,
In a never-ending story, but it always ends.
I want to spend, I want to spend,
In a never-ending story, but it always ends.
And it always ends, and it always ends...
