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 amass 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"
