Peter Bjorn and John › Lyrics › Poor Cow

When all is gone and things go wrong
We don't need them anymore
The artifacts 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 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 faults they sell
You know as well as I, that's a lie

'Cause I wanna spend, I wanna spend
In a never ending story but it always ends
I wanna spend, I wanna spend
In a never ending story but it always ends

And when I die, the angels will try
To count on my belongings
To measure my word, pure gold solitaire
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 I as well as I, that's no lie

'Cause I wanna spend, I wanna spend
In a never ending story but it always ends
I wanna spend, I wanna spend
In a never ending story but it always ends
And it always ends and it always ends
