Riff

SONG:

 When all is gone, and things go wrong,

Riff

We don't need them anymore.

 The artifacts and all they lack,

Riff

We don't need them anymore.

 I don't have the means, and so it seems

Riff

For now I can't participate.

 But I've waited long,

 Now the dollar's strong again,

Riff

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

Riff

To count all my belongings.

 To measure my worth, pure gold, solid dirt,

Riff

To see if I'm worth keeping.

Lyrics

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...
