lyrics

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

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
inside you, there's no soul where there should be
money buys an empty house
but it can't buy humanity

I love it. Have to agree with still bummed: this packs an emotional punch but rocks hard. I've played this whole album repeatedly over the last week which is unusual for me. Exhilarating, poignant, intelligent, melodic. Robin Ward
