Poor Cow

Lyrics for Poor Cow

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...
