about

one of my few preachy tunes. just don’t get to caught up in chasing the dollar, right?

lyrics

these are the original lyrics.
nowadays i sing the song a little differently.

it's ok you got to buy it all up
the things in the sky
that are burning your lungs
won't last forever
and neither shall we
don't burn it, paste it
hide it with money

now i have been rich
and i have been poor
and there's nothing against
wanting more
but when the children got nothing to eat
don't burn it, paste it,
hide it with money

we have the tools
the way to solve it
but if we are fools that doesn't
absolve us
but for the grace there go we
don't burn it, paste it
hide it with your money

still we got to sing
la

the hole in your heart
can never be fixed
by checking off items
off your wish list
if it's only to show the world
who you be
the tricks and the traps
the lies of money

but things are not things
if they help you bring to joy
and feed all the dreams
of those who employ
their hearts, minds, desires free
but watch the tricks and the traps
the lies of money
