What's this paper in my hand?
Digits on a screen demand
Chase it on as fast you can
Never see the promise land
Shiny coins they sparkle bright
Gold and silver in the light
In the end it's all the same
Just a part of life's big game
Money is a mystery Tracing dreams that we can't see
Running circles round and round In the end we're on the ground
Trademark time for something new Bills and coins that won't stay true
Empty pockets stealing light Yet we crave it every night
Work and sweat and sacrifice
For a thing that has no price
Count it, spend it, watch it go
What it's worth we'll never know
What's the cost of happiness?
Paper can't buy true success
In the end we have our love That's the treasure from above
Money is a mystery
Chasing dreams that we can't see
Running circles round and round
In the end we're on the ground
Trading my time for something
new Bills and coins they won't stay true
Empty pockets stealing light Yet we're on the ground
Work and sweat and sacrifice For a thing that has no price
Count it,
spend it,
watch it go What it's worth we'll never know
What's the cost of happiness?
Paper can't buy true success In the end we have our love
