All you need is love but there is never enough

All you need is time but then your time is running up

All you need is money, money but there's not enough

You can try, so try, but you can't get what you want



I name drop like paper plates

while my real friends lay in ashtrays

Failure to communicate with numbers,

symbols, letters, spaces

You can rearrange them anyway that you choose 

You can't take it away from me, I've nothing to lose

Night time is the best time when I'm finally all alone

I turn up all my radios and sing her favorite songs

I state the obvious, when I know that it's clear

Every minute, every second, every day of the year



You can try your best to fake it

Like double, single, triple agents

But if she doesn't love you now

She still won't when you're rich and famous

And everyone will talk about you

Everyone will talk behind your back

But that cannot distract you, no, no, no

Money's what you're making but you still feel alone

In flashy cars and stereos, you sing her favorite songs 



Overstate the obvious when I know that it's clear

Every minute, every second, every day of the year



War is just a dancer,

Oh disco's not the answer
