Stay down, don't get up. Someone out there might open fire

Some little liar, who's shouting that it's all clear

So just crawl around, safe and sound. There will never be enough protection

You've gotta hold tight, keep it all. These walls are much too small for all this

You've gotta keep a tight fist. You've gotta take it from here

Until something behind you finally reminds you there will never be enough money

Rolling over reason, turning wrong into right

The more you have, the more you need and there's no end in sight

The world used to be blinding, bathed in shimmering light

But the more you have, the more you need and you're blinded by and by, all you buy and buy

And you're never gonna see the world, never gonna see the world the same again

You've gotta take some God, pray to drugs

Sex and cigarettes, new cars and cocaine

All these dials for turning down your pain

But you still feel something chewing at your brain

Rolling over reason, turning wrong into right

The more you have, the more you need and there's no end in sight

The world used to be blinding, bathed in shimmering light

But the more you have, the more you need

And you're blinded by and by, all you buy and buy

And you're never gonna see the world, never gonna see the world the same again

It's the same again. It's never enough
