Make my house of bricks

 And I'll stick

here when the world

 Comes crashing down around me

Make your arms a willow tree

 And you can bend with me

 Anywhere that I'm going

Chorus 1

Sometimes it's hard to see

Anything lovely

 All the people around me

 Going for the money

and the money

How can you ask me why

 I need to know before I try?

 I've got to be sure there's more

 Than the money and the money

 And the ego

Verse 2

Keep your eyes on me

 And I'll look to

 you so I can see

What I am here for

Pull the wool over my eyes

 Please kiss this day goodbye

 Only you can get me going

Chorus 2

 Than the money and the money

 And the ego

When giving up is all you got

 And giving up is all you want

When giving up is all you got

 Don't be afraid to sit down

 In your shower

 You can stay in there for hours
