You always strive to get
What your eyes covet
No matter the price
No sleep until you’re satisfied
You work so hard
Like a slave in ancient times
And that’s exactly what you are
A slave of your own desires
What do you have
That can’t be taken from you
What do you have
That will stand the test of time
You steal and lie and cheat
To see your wealth increased
Still you lie down in vain
Sleep is always far away
The thief may come to steal
To rob you in the night
Your life it may end just tonight
The reaper will accept no bribe
What do you have
That can’t be taken from you
What do you have
That will stand the test of time
