lyrics

The rich erect mansions like monuments,
To the money they've made with which to play.
As I drift through the golden hillside neighbourhood
I see a man on his lawn digging his own grave
With a diamond spade.

The TV queen weeps lonely in her dressing room
While a salivating audience awaits
When the curtain calls, her tears will cease mechanically
As a contract tugs the chain around her waist.
The parasites she'll face

Greed and fear
Urge you on
I'd rather
Be no-one

The drunk actor tries to drown the memory
Of a little boy, who dreamed to be a star
Long-gone are those blissful days of revery
He tilts another bottle to the past

Gets into his car
Pills and beer
Ease your mind
Fame and Wealth
So unkind

Greed and fear
Drag you down
Comfort lies
In the ground.
