Avarice -

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
