The world is breaking down But we are marching forward My friends are breaking ground And loving one another We were not living for ourselves But we were living for someone else Now I've just quit my job And sold my fine possessions Expecting our first child Amid the Great Recession We care less than you, it's true It was the spirit of the age Ain't it funny how nothing really ever changes Now draw the line between
What you want and what you need Now tell me what you see Turned your blessings into burdens Could it be You were not living for yourself But you were living for something else And so you limit your own mind You never were the dreaming kind Cause someone told you Boy when you were young You'll never find the things you want
