If avarice is who we are No wonder I'm not getting far You think life is selling out your soul And counting up the total Take a walk through Tower One This is where the money's made But nobody in here seems to be alive Opulence - a corporate shrine, Just look at how the windows shine And to the darkness: never mind So punch the clock And keep this going I've only got so much life to waste You love to think That you can own me You can't see through my smiling face If avarice is who we are No wonder I'm not getting far Inside you, there's no soul where there should be Money buys an empty house But it can't buy humanity Yet another conversation That I should change my motivations; Buy a piece of the company mirage What's success without a cause: The newest cars, the biggest garage? Your ambition is camouflage So punch the clock And keep this going I've only got so much life to waste You love to think That you can own me You can't see through my smiling face If avarice is who we are No wonder I'm not getting far Inside you, there's no soul where there should be Money buys an empty house But it can't buy humanity So punch the clock And keep this going I've only got so much life to waste Your money buys most anything But it can't buy you humanity If avarice is who we are No wonder I'm not getting far 'Cause inside you, there's no soul where there should be Money buys an empty house But it can't buy you humanity
