Take the time that you’ve spent, thinking of the things that you possess.
Gather all that you can. Save, collect, you know what you still need.
Now we are what we own, philosophy has taken a backseat.
Gather all that you can. Save collect you know what you still need.
We’ve tried to, subscribe to a richer life.

All this pretense does not make sense.
(This is an obsession, fueled by foolish, young minds.

We spend all our money on things we don’t need,
Because it’s in fashion and we live through our greed.

And yet we feel empty, why are we so glum?
And yet we feel empty, why are we so glum?
And yet we feel empty.
Impressions, and all our values faked.
Assertions, we do not give we take.
And you’ll see that all our minds are closed.
Our whole lives, so easily disposed
