Lyrics for We Were Wealth

Though I am grown I'm living like a child now I wish, I want Giving myself everything Fearing the release Keeping the peace Say, for instance I pay money for an object Sight unseen How is it that it speaks for me? Borrowed, never earned In debt from birth Fill the Days at Any Cost and Spend your Earnings Ease the Losses We were Wealth and We were Money Of the World and Needing Nothing
