How Much Is The World

Stop the world anywhere, I’ll find my way

Like a tourist gone astray

I’ll build a home, dig up some gold

Make a friend and grow real old

But even if I don’t, well it wouldn’t be the end

Everywhere you go, anywhere you go aground

The world will spin you all around

They claim everything’s for sale

And who would be surprised

Who lives fairytales

Everything has a price

How much is the world?

With all of what you’re giving

How much is it worth?

The rising costs of living

How much is the time?

All our wealth combined

With all this spinning around

Can someone tell me, tell me now

How much is a life?

They’ll tell you

Be anything you wanna be!

That’s right

They’ll tell you

Just do it, you’re free!

That’s why

One day wondering what they meant

And where it all went

The years and hours spent

Working for the one percent

How much is the world?

With all of what you’re giving

How much is it worth?

An honest life worth living

How much is the time?

All our wealth combined

How much is even left of it now?

Can someone tell me

Tell me now, how much is a life?

How much is the world

With all of what you’re giving

How much is it worth

An honest life, worth living

How much is the time

All our wealth combined

How much is left of it now?

With all this spinning around

Tell me now

How much is a life?

How much is the world

They’ll tell you, be anything you want to be!

Oh, that’s right

They’ll tell you, just do it, you’re free

That’s why

Beyond anything we ever could save

They spent in one single day

Put all your hesitations aside

Tell me now, how much is a life?
