Youth Brigade - Can't Take It With You Lyrics

Works hard all his life for the children and the wife
Saving daddy's money for some empty future dream
They have all things money can buy
But they can't buy the peace of mind it seems

Why try to own the land and the sky?
Most of us struggle to survive

There was an old man who worked his whole life
To make life better for him and his wife
His children told him there was a better way
But it was all he knew and he died a burned out soul

Why try to own the land and the sky?
Most of us struggle to survive

Don't be fooled by the values of the times
No matter what is said we all must die
You can't buy happiness, you can't buy love
And don't be fooled by so called redemption from above

And in the end it's all meaningless
Just question everything and always ask why
