We could choose to disregard it

Or have some fun and break it

Since god has just departed

We could carry on or fake it

Who has a better plan

What's the true nature of man

What's money to your soul

Watch as money takes control

And is there space for every boy and girl

In a competitive, material world

I guess we'll have to wait and see

And I'm trying too hard to believe

Know when to draw the line

Know there's a grand design

Know there's a better way

I don't know and cannot say

When my respect for man

Has taken all it can

The purchase of your soul

Placate and we have lost control

Placate and we have lost control

Is it daddy's little boys and girls

Become the acne on the face of the world

I guess we'll have to wait and see

And I'm trying too hard to believe

We could choose to disregard it

We could choose to disregard it

Who has a better plan

What's the true nature of man

What's money to your soul

Watch as money takes control

Is it Daddy's little boys and girls

Become the acne on the face of the world

I guess we'll have to wait and see

And is there space for every boy and girl

In a competitive, material world

I guess we'll have to wait and see

And I'm trying too hard to believe
