Verse 1:
Kinda sad and just a little funny
How it seems to all come down to money
Every time
What you have, and just what you don’t have
Seems to matter so much more these days
Than what’s inside, yeah
Verse 2:
At the wheel of the latest model
Pop the cork out of the champagne bottle
Filled with pride
And yet it never seems to be enough
’Cause an empty heart is not so easily satisfied, oh
Verse 3:
Take a look at your life
I don’t mean your clothes, your money
Or where you’ve been
Oh, I’m talking life
Talking ’bout the real things
Things that you can’t buy
Because they come from within, oh
CHORUS:
Listen everybody
We need one another
Every day’s a struggle
And it’s getting rough, oh yeah
We must try to open up
Every heart and mind now
Come on, let’s get back to love
Verse 4:
Intellectual and educated
To prestige and power dedicated
It’s in your hands, oh but
If life to you is just a corporate ladder
Then I think it’s life that you don’t really understand, oh
Verse 5:
Take a look in your heart
When it comes to helping others
Are you too passive?
It’s easy
Give a lot or just give a little
Doesn’t really matter
Just as long as you give, oh
(Repeat CHORUS, adlib)
