worked his finger to the bones
climbed the ladder up to nowhere
he tried so hard to prove them wrong
he said you just wait i'm gonna go somewhere
but late at night when the doors are closed
he finally came to the conclusion
that there was a hole down in his soul
the american dream is just an illusion
so he said everything means nothing
everything is never enough without you
so he said everything is nothing
a little bit more will never measure up without you
they say if you rich and famous it's gods plan
i'm not a fan
i don't agree with that
i seen poor people laughing that never got a chance
and chasing the wind is hard on the diaphragm
money power respect
fame and fortune
they make a fortune on vain award shows
fashion week
athletes
i blame the culture
walking the hall of fame where they hang the portrait
some of the wealthiest men got some of the darkest past
the deepest secrets
they walk da path
the demons speaking
it's all for cash
egregious weakness
it's hard to grasp
i want more
i need more
the moment i get it
the greed forms
insatiable appetite
please lord
it's gotta be more to this life
need to be reborn
so he said everything means nothing
everything is never enough without you
so he said everything is nothing
a little bit more will never measure up without you
they say that we made it came from the bottom up
but i keep getting the strangest feeling that it's still not enough
billionaire boys club suite on da top floor
they say we can find true happiness if we got our dollars up
buy lot of stuff
that's a status symbol
a masters degrees on da wall the battles inward
a raise on the job makes him feel alive
but what good is another promotion if your marriage dwindles
this is zapping my energy
successful business
eventually
the pressure inches
tuition fees
success without character strengthens deficiency's
he wants more
he needs more
the moment he gets it
the greed forms
insatiable appetite
please lord
it's got to be more to to this life
need to be reborn
so he said everything means nothing
everything is never enough without you
so he said everything is nothing
a little bit more will never measure up without you
