When It Won't Save You

The way that I feel,
and what's supposed to be real
strongly disagree there is one thing I keep in front of me
cause cash won't save,
cars won't transcend the grave
I call everyone I know the only things of value I could ever own
it worries my mind knowing days of my life slowly disappear
is there something that I should be doing here
with my time? should I fall in line?
I can't chase the American Dream
trading life for money never made much sense to me

and some may say that I'm already gone but I say,
"Hey, if I'm wrong it all for living this way?
I'm alright being wrong" and I say,
"Hey, as I slowly let possession slip away I feel I belong.
I'm alright being wrong"

I try and I try to find appeal in 9 to 5, but I never win
stuck in days that don't seem to begin
the answer I find to the question in mind
king of diamonds, king of hearts?
One dies loved, and one is dead from the very start

and some may say that I'm already gone but I say,
"Hey, if I'm wrong it all for living this way?
I'm alright being wrong" and I say,
"Hey, as I slowly let possession slip away I feel I belong.
I'm alright being wrong"

Things like this aren't hard to resist as my mind persists
allowing absolutely no interest in things that fade
as fast as they accumulate
I refuse to bury myself that way

"Hey, if I'm wrong it all for living this way?
I'm alright being wrong" and I say,
"Hey, if I'm wrong it all for living this way?
I'm alright being wrong" and I say,
"Hey, as I slowly let possession slip away I feel I belong.
I'm alright being wrong"
