We'Re Rich On What We'Ve Got - Triumvirat

Your fifteen hundred bucks-a-month apartment

Is paid for by a numbered bank account

You don’t care where it’s coming from

To you it does come easy

And a new financé always can be found

Wasting time on those meaningless possessions

Always longing for the things that you have not

You can try and try again

Your ambitions are in vain

When you should have known

You’re rich on what you’ve got

For years you’ve been an excellent pretender

The virgin in your smile is not for real

But what kills you is the difference

Between the life you’re leading

And the worry of exactly what you feel

Close your eyes and take a look at your depression

And the artificial things you do for love

When you try and try again

Your intentions might be vain

But the effort sure would help a lot

For you to see

We’re rich on what we’ve got

Oh we’re rich on what we’ve got

You don’t care about a thing you own

To you they do come easy

But with all you have

You are still alone

Wasting time on those meaningless possessions

Running after what you’re never going to need

Here you go and try again

Will you hunger ever come to an end

When you go through all the junk you’ve got

You’ll find you really haven’t got a lot

Close your eyes, take a look at your depression

And the artificial things you love so much

When you try and try again

Your ambition might be vain

But the effort sure would help a lot

For you to see

We’re rich on what we’ve got
