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
