| You know the price of everything
|
| But not the value of anything
|
| My girl just called and said, grandpa has gotten worse
|
| It's probably not far off
|
| It might end today
|
| I'm going up now, you never know how many hours he has
|
| Made me stop and think
|
| How we live as if time stood still
|
| And our existence is collapsing
|
| There are no gadgets that can get it undone
|
| They know everything about what the cost is
|
| But nothing about what life is worth after all
|
| So when everything just falls apart
|
| Is it best to hold on tight to what you hold most dear
|
| Ref. |
| They know the price of everything
|
| But not the value of anything (They know the price of everything but not the value of anything)
|
| Call them learned they have not learned anything
|
| In common lies they are sworn in
|
| All the symbols they carry around
|
| Nothing is worth anything
|
| If not I can breathe the air
|
| They fill their brand with plastic in the breasts
|
| Others with their noses deep into old books
|
| Everyone gives me promises with something false in their voice
|
| That is not my vision or ambition
|
| 7 X times Y becomes half a million
|
| Do not want my life to be an equation
|
| Everything will still go smoothly when I pack up
|
| Do not want to feel that I lived in vain
|
| Who knows maybe my life is short
|
| Not much I know but one thing is for sure
|
| I never want to be like them
|
| They know the price of everything
|
| But not the value of anything (They know the price of everything but not the value of anything)
|
| You can have everything and nothing nothing yet everything
|
| Thick wallet still fucked up style
|
| Money does not buy a gold medal
|
| It makes sweat and tears style is free
|
| And heart is everything I promise
|
| They are fools who have forgotten the feeling
|
| The materialist alone is stunned by his longing
|
| After someone else with something else
|
| Will be poor forever like damned
|
| Because you might think you need something like that
|
| Actually is completely unimportant
|
| What we have learned is a sign of success
|
| Although no such thing is real
|
| They know the price of everything
|
| But not the value of anything (They know the price of everything but not the value of anything)
|
| They know the price of everything
|
| But not the value of anything at all
|
| They know the price of everything
|
| But not the value of anything
|
| They know the price of everything
|
| But not the value of anything at all |
