Possession

How much do you want? How much do you need?

How wide is the gap between possession and greed?

Anyone in particular thinks in terms of how much more he needs to earn

To afford the dubious luxury of being able to boast that he could do it free

But it all takes a very long time indeed to reach the achievements set

By the time he possesses all the things

That he wants he'll have forgotten what he set out to get

How much is enough? Do you need a bit more?

How wide is the gap between now and before?

There's not much difference in the way he lives

And the empty satisfaction that possession gives

Storing it all for a sense of success

When he's got time to look back if there is any time left

Cos it all takes a very long time indeed to amass all the needs to be met

Unless you consider that all that you really need

Is something to eat

Is something to breathe

Something to there when you leane

Is something to drink

Is something to say

Something that says "I went this way"
