Poor Cow Lyrics - Peter Bjorn And John

When all is gone, and things go wrong, 

We don't need them anymore. 

The artifice and all they lack, 

We don't need them anymore. 

I don't have the means, and so it seems 

For now I can't participate. 

But I've waited long, 

Now the dollar's strong again, 

I still can't participate.

When we don't consume it seems we are immune 

To all of the thoughts they sell, 

You know as well as I, that's a lie... 

'Cause I want to spend, I want to spend, 

In a never-ending story, but it always ends. 

I want to spend, I want to spend, 

In a never-ending story, but it always ends. 

And when I die, the angels will try 

To count all my belongings. 

To measure my worth, pure gold, solid dirt, 

To see if I'm worth keeping. 

But the house I rent and the car I drive, 

I'm sorry but they ain't mine. 

You know as well as I, that's no lie...

'Cause I want to spend, I want to spend, 

In a never-ending story, but it always ends. 

I want to spend, I want to spend, 

In a never-ending story, but it always ends. 

And it always ends, and it always ends...
