Worthwhile

[Verse]

A man is on the skids 
The world has kicked his ass 
The only pleasure he can find
Is at the bottom of a glass 
The kids are out tonight 
Trying to get their kicks 
In the heart of town 
With a two for one fix
Somebody’s little girl 
Is down on her knees 
Begging in an alley 
Won’t someone help me please


[Verse]

Once idols of pleasure
They’re now pawns of pain
Living in the good life
Put their souls down the drain
With money as their God
And fame their religion
All hope is now gone
Because they’ve lost their vision
Spending all the day
Hunting the golden calf
All their goals accomplished
They await their demons’s wrath

[Chorus]

Money won’t buy you love
That’s the gift that God gives you
Fame won’t earn you trust
It’s all up to what you choose 
Fortune won’t give you happiness
It’s up to you to find that smile
Power won’t bring you peace
You’ve got to make your life worthwhile
Choose a life worthwhile 

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

You can have all the money, fortune and fame
Living in a castle with every day the same
But everything you have saved will all be lost
If you sacrifice happiness no matter the cost

[Chorus]

Money won’t buy you love
That’s the gift that God gives you
Fame won’t earn you trust
It’s all up to what you choose 
Fortune won’t give you happiness
It’s up to you to find your smile
Power won’t bring you peace
You’ve got to make your life worthwhile
Choose a life worthwhile 

[Final Chorus]

Money won’t buy you love
That’s the gift that God gives you
Fame won’t earn you trust
It’s all up to what you choose 
Fortune won’t give you happiness
It’s up to you to find that smile
Power won’t bring you peace
You’ve got to make your life worthwhile
Choose a life worthwhile 
You’ve got to make it all worthwhile
