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
