Their idea of success is all I detest, I say, forget it All the value today soon gets taken away Don't they get it? They think that happiness can be purchased I don't buy it anymore The people run to have some fun But their frowns give them away Give up the chase for a higher taste We found a better way They give me advice But it won't suffice because they're blind men They're sophisticated, educated, still frustrated I don't want to be like them An invitation to follow in your footsteps? I don't buy it anymore A simple way to live your life Without worry or strife and no misgivings In harmony with all that be It's plain to see that's how we should be living I heard your promises for the future I don't buy it anymore
