Poor Cow
Eternal Yearning: Unveiling the Meaning Behind 'Poor Cow'
Lyrics
When all is gone, and things go wrong
When everything is lost and situations turn bad
We don't need them anymore
We no longer require those things
The artifacts and all they lack
Man-made objects and what they lack in essence
We don't need them anymore
We no longer require those things
I don't have the means, and so it seems
I lack the resources, and it appears
For now I can't participate
Currently, I cannot participate
But I've waited long
However, I've been waiting for a long time
Now the dollar's strong again
Now that the currency is strong again
I still can't participate
Still, I cannot participate
When we don't consume it seems we are immune
When we abstain from consuming, it appears we become resistant
To all of the thoughts they sell
To all the ideas and beliefs they try to sell us
You know as well as I, that's a lie
You and I both know that's untrue
'Cause I want to spend, I want to spend
I desire to spend, endlessly
In a never-ending story, but it always ends
In a story that continues forever, yet it always concludes
I want to spend, I want to spend
I desire to spend, endlessly
In a never-ending story, but it always ends
In a story that continues forever, yet it always concludes
And when I die, the angels will try
Upon my death, angels will attempt
To count all my belongings
To assess all my possessions
To measure my worth, pure gold, solid dirt
To evaluate my value, whether it's valuable or worthless
To see if I'm worth keeping
To determine if I'm worth keeping
But the house I rent and the car I drive
The residence I lease and the vehicle I use
I'm sorry but they ain't mine
Unfortunately, they don't belong to me
You know as well as I, that's no lie
You and I both know that's the truth
'Cause I want to spend, I want to spend
I desire to spend, endlessly
In a never-ending story, but it always ends
In a story that continues forever, yet it always concludes
I want to spend, I want to spend
I desire to spend, endlessly
In a never-ending story, but it always ends
In a story that continues forever, yet it always concludes
And it always ends, and it always ends
The cycle perpetually ends, without fail
