Testo For God Or Gold

There's helicopters over head,
there's someone lying dead in the street.
There's happiness in death I've heard
to live is just to follow the beat.
Now skeletons are all we are,
nine numbers on a computer screen.
But we don't work enough,
we laugh too much,
they're taxing us each time that we dream.
Oh, it was love that gave us life,
and it was greed that made us lie.
It was lust that made it right.
We used to dream
but now I don't even believe in you
half the time.

There's a family who's possessions
imitate the love that they couldn't buy.
There's a comfort in expensive things,
I've heard everything else is a lie.
And all that honesty will make you weak,
like a disease it drags you behind.

Oh, it was love that gave us life,
and it was greed that made us lie.
It was lust that made it right.
We used to dream
but now I don't even believe in you
half the time.

It was love, is this what you wanted?
