You get back what you put in
So don't take out, if you must borrow
What you need will come tomorrow
What you want may have to wait.
And don't waste time, it can't be bought
Don't spend your dreams on what they're selling
Close your ears to all their yelling
And you'll get back what you put in
My old man said, it's only gold
And there is more to life than labour
There's so much more you can savour
So many roles you can play
My old man said, there's joy in life,
There's joy in love, there's joy in giving
If you make wealth your goal for living
Then you'll miss out on all the rest
