Poor Cow - Peter Bjorn & John

When all is gone and things go wrong we don’t need them anymore

The artifice and all they lack, we don’t need them anymore

I don’t have the means and so it seems for now I can’t participate

But I’ve waited long, now the dollar’s strong again, I still can’t participate

When we don’t consume it seems we are immune to all of the thoughts they sell

You know as well as I, that’s a lie

'Cause I want to spend, I want to spend

In a never-ending story but it always ends

I want to spend, I want to spend

In a never-ending story but it always ends

And when I die, the angels will try to count all my belongings

To measure my worth, pure gold, solid dirt, to see if I’m worth keeping

But the house I rent and the car I drive, I’m sorry but they ain’t mine

You know as well as I, that’s no lie

'Cause I want to spend, I want to spend

In a never-ending story but it always ends

I want to spend, I want to spend

In a never-ending story but it always ends

And it always ends, and it always ends
