I reached out asking for a hand, my struggles getting deeper still A little loan upon the table, but it meant more than a dollar bill Days keep rolling, working harder, still I never break away Poverty keeps holding tightly, sometimes working night till day Every morning, same old story, I get up before the sun Lending out my time for wages, trading life till day is done I work hard, I spend my hours, giving pieces of my soul Just get numbers in my bank account— Tell me, was it worth the toll?
Don't let money pull our hearts apart Don't let debt tear our song apart 'Cause friendship's worth much more than silver, more than gold Love was never made to fit inside a vault to hold
Cash upon the table, staring quietly at the pile Funny how a stack of paper steals a brother's smile Money brings anxiety, nothing's funny anymore No way out except to keep on pushing till we hit the floor Money buys a beach vacation, winter sunshine, perfect tan You can buy the finest watch, but not one yesterday again Do you see this great illusion? Can you see what we've become? Am I richer or just poorer When the counting all is done?
Time's the only currency... Every breath's a loan we're living on Truth is we don't really own a thing at all Just a place where our hearts belong
Don't let money pull our hearts apart Don't let debt steal all our joy apart Real riches live inside the friends we know Whatever comes tomorrow, I'm still raising up my glass with you
Woo-oh Woo-oh-oh-ooo Oo-oh, we're borrowing time Oo-oh, we're borrowing cash Oo-oh, we're borrowing dreams Just trying to live while we can Yeah-eah Yeah-eah-ah-ah
