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
