about

"A song about worshipping material wealth until you hit middle age and winding up with a whole lot of nothing."

lyrics

There’s too many people
Buying up more and more
Just to cling on to this world

Spending all their money and time
To make sure that American dream
can't come unglued, can’t come unfurled
I’ve got something to tell you

You can have it all
But it don't really matter.
You’ll never have enough to fill up that hole

If you want to hold on to something, hold on to this
Ain’t much time to save your soul

Oh so you’ve made it now
That’s a really nice car, so tell me, where you gonna go?
You drive on and on, still Lost in America
Everything sounds like progress on a brand new stereo
But here's what I'm saying

More money’s just more problems
And the more time you waste
The more you get old.
You need more than a fast car to make it to the other side
Ain’t much time to save your soul

Time’s ticking on now.
Your kids moved away, you live in your big house all alone.
Tell me now… What you got? You got more than you need
But is it enough to face the unknown

If you ain’t got love you’ve got nothing
What can’t be bought.
Simply can’t be sold
It’s something you’ve got and you've got to give away
Ain’t got much time to save your soul

Time in the world ain’t time enough
It's getting dark outside and it’s getting cold
But if love’s what you’ve got, just give it away
Time enough to save your soul

Love’s what you’ve got so just give it away
Time to save your soul
