Peter Bjorn And John - Poor Cow lyrics

rate me

When all is gone, and things go wrong,

We don't need them anymore.

The artifacts and all they lack,

We don't need them anymore.

I don't have the means, and so it seems

For now I can't participate.

But I've waited long,

Now the dollar's strong again,

I still can't participate.

When we don't consume it seems we are immune

To all of the thoughts they sell,

You know as well as I, that's a lie...

'Cause I want to spend, I want to spend,

In a never-ending story, but it always ends.

I want to spend, I want to spend,

In a never-ending story, but it always ends.

And when I die, the angels will try

To count all my belongings.

To measure my worth, pure gold, solid dirt,

To see if I'm worth keeping.

But the house I rent and the car I drive,

I'm sorry but they ain't mine.

You know as well as I, that's no lie...

'Cause I want to spend, I want to spend,

In a never-ending story, but it always ends.

I want to spend, I want to spend,

In a never-ending story, but it always ends.

And it always ends, and it always ends..
