Ka-¢hing Ka-¢hing Ka-¢hing
Catching the disease
$pending $pending $pending
Until your house they seize
1 day you'll be happy
2 much you've had to lose
3 more breaths and you'll think
be-
4 you have to choose
between your life and living
between passion and a job
between a real or forced smile
between a tear or sob
living life is not free
but can you pay the cost?
is it worth the payment,
years of your life lost?
is there no other answer?
no way to simply be?
some way to "pay the piper"
and still escape the fee?
why can't we just be happy
living as we are?
resist the diamond bracelet
and brand-new sporty car
what world made "things" important
and made us care so much
about the things we purchase
objects we see and touch
intangible are love and lust
(i can't touch sympathy)
but surely it is possible
to feel philanthropy
i can hold opinions dear
and i can buy some time
some things are worth so very much
don't focus on the dime
don't care about the dollar
or yen or british pound
just let yourself get lost
and soon you'll find you're found
release yourself from rubies
divorce your diamonds too
there's definitely more to life
than buying old and new
don't focus on your income
and other revenue
the dollar signs are blinding
and soon your "things" own you
what is the price of happiness?
how much for just one smile?
will money get you closer?
or will it just beguile?
let go and give yourself a break
it's going to be ok
there's more to life than buying
and waiting for pay day
just breathe and try to realize
you have so many things
assess what is important
and give your dreams some wings
