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...
