Things

Who want to read LYRICS? You do. Or you should. This is a song by Eddie Vedder. I love it because it makes me think. It makes me guilty. It's just something to think about. Why do we buy into the status symbols of cars, spend money to look ways we don't but "should", buy things we can't afford, have to have the best (most expensive) of all our things? It is really so important we have that instead of saving for our kids' college? Or paying off a credit card? But, we must look cool, right? We must have a perfect yard, trees, bushes, enough rooms for our kids, right? Because that is what the Jone's have.....



Oh, it's a mystery to me
We have a greed with which we have agreed
And you think you have to want more than you need
Until you have it all you won't be free

Society, you're a crazy breed
Hope you're not lonely without me...

When you want more than you have
You think you need...
And when you think more than you want
Your thoughts begin to bleed
I think I need to find a bigger place
Because when you have more than you think
You need more space

Society, you're a crazy breed
Hope you're not lonely without me...
Society, crazy indeed
Hope you're not lonely without me...

There's those thinking, more-or-less, less is more
But if less is more, how you keeping score?
Means for every point you make, your level drops
Kinda like you're starting from the top
You can't do that...

Society, you're a crazy breed
Hope you're not lonely without me...
Society, crazy indeed
Hope you're not lonely without me...

Society, have mercy on me
Hope you're not angry if I disagree...
Society, crazy indeed
Hope you're not lonely without me...
