Poor Cow lyrics

When all is gone, and things go wrong We don't need them anymore The artifacts 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
