Man Can't Live on Bread Alone

Lyrics

The Dow Jones took a dive today, another bank closes it's doors
 A man downtown tried to fly away from it all on the eighteenth floor
 And everything he worshipped ain't worth nothing now
 He had a jaguar in the driveway
 A house with eighteen rooms
 Every night he dined alone, fed from a silver spoon
 Guess he never figured out
 You ain't what you own
 Man can't live on bread alone
 You can't fill your heart with silver and gold
 You've got to have some love to satisfy your soul
 We've got to pool together to make it on our own
 Man can't live on bread alone
 ♪
 There's a country store that sits out on a backwoods gravel road
 The owner lets the poor folks slide if they can't pay what they owe
 He says it's only money
 Ain't no good when you're gone
 Now he'll never be a rich man, but he's smiling every day
 He's gets everything he needs by giving it away
 I think he's got it figured out
 You ain't what you own
 Man can't live on bread alone
 ♪
 You can't fill your heart with silver and gold
 You've got to have some love to satisfy your soul
 We've got to pool together to make it on our own
 Man can't live on bread alone
