Everything you want
Isn’t everything you need
You’d rather be a tree
Than have to plant a seed
Water everyday
And watch it bare your fruit
Instead you’re quite content
With never taking root
Just go the extra mile
And you’ll have more to show
The things of this world
Can’t go where you go
Pretend to not hold on
To the world as you flirt
You know that your possessions
Are nothing more than dirt
You’re so far from, it’s amazing
While you stand there crystal gazing
Life moves on and it’s going to pass you
Curtain call, what are you supposed to do
You’re waiting there, all eyes are on you
Forgot your lines and you’ve just missed your cue
If honesty is the best policy
Then why would anyone want to be a Pharisee
Play a leading role on the stage of life
You need to cut the act with a pocket knife
