lyrics

I know you got money to get us out of the city.
I'm still grateful for all that you've done.
But what's in your wallet is not worth more than your kids.
With a mind like that, can't you see that you're alone?
This resentment is spreading inside.
I can't help it, it's just how I feel.
It doesn't mean living just because you're alive.
But now is the time to help you see what's real.

Try smiling every once and a while. It's good for your soul.
You never did what you loved and now it's hard to love anything at all.
Try smiling every once and a while. You'd be surprised what it brings.
I know money shines, maybe just as much as gold, but it doesn't mean everything.

And I know you have better things to do
than take advice from a punk like me.
But now that I took the time to write down these words
maybe finally you'll see what I mean.
Don't fight. Be polite. Pick your battles. Treat your wife.
Love life, not your money. Every minute is precious time.
The gold is not worth the rush.
The gold is not worth the rush.

Try smiling every once and a while. It's good for your soul.
You never did what you loved and now it's hard to love anything at all.
Try smiling every once and a while. You'd be surprised what it brings.
I know money shines, maybe just as much as gold, but it doesn't mean everything.

Money doesn't mean everything.
The gold is not worth the rush.
