Worthwhile

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

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

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 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

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

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
