Artist: Peter Bjorn And John
Song: Poor Cow

When all is gone, and things go wrong, 
We don't need them anymore. 
The artifacts and all they lack, 
We don't need them anymore. 

I don't have the means, and so it seems 
For now I can't participate. 
But I've waited long, 
Now the dollar's strong again, 
I still can't participate. 

When we don't consume it seems we are immune 
To all of the thoughts they sell, 
You know as well as I, that's a lie... 

'Cause I want to spend, I want to spend, 
In a never-ending story, but it always ends. 
I want to spend, I want to spend, 
In a never-ending story, but it always ends. 

And when I die, the angels will try 
To count all my belongings. 
To measure my worth, pure gold, solid dirt, 
To see if I'm worth keeping. 

But the house I rent and the car I drive, 
I'm sorry but they ain't mine. 
You know as well as I, that's no lie... 

'Cause I want to spend, I want to spend, 
In a never-ending story, but it always ends. 
I want to spend, I want to spend, 
In a never-ending story, but it always ends. 
And it always ends, and it always ends...
