An Evil Which I Have Seen Under the Sun

My account is flush, three 'Benz in the lot- I've got a room for every day of the week I've got the world on a string (A STRING!) Then why am I still hollow, so empty inside? (EMPTY!!) EMPTY! It comes in vanity, my soul's not satisfied It comes in vanity, and I'm stubborn in my pride It comes in vanity, I'm nearing my demise It comes in vanity, get me off this AWFUL RIIIDE! Working nine to five, again five to nine- Why can't I enjoy possessions by my side? Poster-child for discontent (DISCONTENT!!) If I lived two thousand years, I'd still be short on time (TIME!!) Better that I had been stillborn Than live a life of abject misery It comes in vanity, my soul's not satisfied It comes in vanity, and I'm stubborn in my pride It comes in vanity, I'm nearing my demise It comes in vanity, get me off this AWFUL RIIIDE! Am I the fool or am I the sage? Warring nations and my heart's a rage To pass away like a shadow- To pass away like a SHADOW!!! PASS AWAY!! Imperfections stare back from the mirror A life of ease doesn't put me close to peace The more you have; more you need (MORE YOU NEED!) Will you bury me then with my life of greed? (LIFE OF GREED!) Better that I had been stillborn Than live a life of abject misery It comes in vanity, my soul's not satisfied It comes in vanity, and I'm stubborn in my pride It comes in vanity, I'm nearing my demise It comes in vanity, get me off this AWFUL RIIIDE!
