More For The Less Lyrics - Jeremy Glenn

VERSE 1 

Too busy for kindness 

Hope keeps passing by 

We're justified by freedom 

Too caught up in time 

Trading off all values 

Boost the bottom line 

He can't think of this y'all 

Until he's lost his mind 

BRIDGE 1 

Holding on to what's here 

Then told to trust 'fear of losing' 

But what's owned 

When the cost of one's soul amounts to what wit i'm using 

So what's owed? 

We're under control pursuing some weird illusion 

But what's known? 

We're making these choices where lives are someone's exclusion 

And what we're choosing means we're all losing, we're losing 

CHORUS 1 

Living just for having 

Surviving on surviving 

Just how much more do we need before we're happy? 

Will you stand for something? 

Or keep chasing more? 

Working just for living 

Surviving while we're thriving 

Just how much more can they take before we're happy? 

If you don't stand for something 

Well then don't put more for the less 

It's more stress for the rest of us 

VERSE 2 

Taking with no giving 

Natural law defied 

Conflicts orchestrated 

Problem goes untried 

He keeps craving power 

They just want their pride 

But neither one can have it 

All part of the design 

BRIDGE 2 

Holding on to what's here 

Then told to trust 'fear of losing' 

But what's owned 

When the cost of one's soul amounts to what wit i'm using 

So what's owed? 

We're under control pursuing some weird illusion 

But what's known? 

We're making these choices where lives are someone's exclusion 

And what we're choosing means we're all losing, we're losing 

CHORUS 2 

Living just for having 

Striving on surviving 

Just how much more do we need before we're happy? 

Will you stand for something? 

Or keep chasing more? 

Working just for living 

Surviving while we're thriving 

Just how much more can they take before we're happy? 

If you don't stand for something 

Well then don't put more for the less 

It's more stress for the rest of us
