lyrics

Lyrics:
If you give me your money
do you give me your pride?
If you take all my money
have I nothing left inside?
Should "I wished I'd worked harder"
when I'm about to die?
No
I want friends and family
to give me love and say goodbye

Money can't complete the need
for love in our lives
Doesn't matter what its role
how good it's disguised
If you think you're living large
I think you're living lies
You should know
to those of us who know love
you're chasing the wrong prize

If you give me a cruelty
do you gain a sense of pride?
If you manage to hurt me do you feel good inside?
Will you wished you were meaner
when you're about to die?
Or
Don't you want friends and family
to give you love and say goodbye?

Money can't complete the need
for love in our lives
Doesn't matter what its role
how good it's disguised
If you think you're living large
I think you're living lies
You should know
to those of us who know love
you're chasing the wrong prize

Can you create for others
a sense of being loved?
It doesn't matter what they've done
or if they've done enough?

Can you lift them to the sky
hold them high?
Soon you'll be soaring at their side

Money can't complete the need for love in our lives
Money can't complete the need for love in our lives
Money can't complete the need for love in our lives
You should know they love you if you want them to
just give up

If you pay me a kindness
do you gain a sense of pride?
If you're good to others
do you feel good inside?
When we all help each other
I know we all will thrive
Don't you want a community
who wants to keep you alive?

Money can't complete the need
for love in our lives
Doesn't matter what its role
how good it's disguised
If you think you're living large
I think you're living lies
You should know
to those of us who know love
you're chasing the wrong prize
