Citizen Fish - Possession lyrics

How much do you want? How much do you need? How wide is the gap between possession and greed? Anyone in particular thinks in terms of how much more he needs to earn To afford the dubious luxury of being able to boast that he could do it free But it all takes a very long time indeed to reach the achievements set By the time he possesses all the things That he wants he'll have forgotten what he set out to get How much is enough? Do you need a bit more? How wide is the gap between now and before? There's not much difference in the way he lives And the empty satisfaction that possession gives Storing it all for a sense of success When he's got time to look back if there is any time left Cos it all takes a very long time indeed to ama** all the needs to be met Unless you consider that all that you really need Is something to eat Is something to breathe Something to there when you leane Is something to drink Is something to say Something that says "I went this way"
