About the song
A philosophical meditation upon the concept of value in a post-modernist world. In other words, another simple love song.
Lyrics
VERSE 1:
Everywhere I go
People wanna show me
Something that they won in the game
Its like they got the memo
Signed up for the demo
On how to live your life in vain insane
(F)
That aint my race to run
And just in case you dont understand
When that chase is won
All you embrace is made of sand
(Em)
I dont know why I would even try
I have this treasure I hold inside
Baby
CHORUS:
I know what I need
You dont see it on TV
You cant find it at the mall
Its you thats all
______________
VERSE 2:
If I aint mistaken
Were all getting taken
Throwing our time away
On nothin but a brand name
Baby, its a damn shame
Living in a masquerade, hey
(F)
Leave gold and jewels
For the poor fools whove never seen your face
Entrepreneur
He is a poor man without your grace
(Em)
Without your love its a world of lies
Where everything is just merchandise
Baby
CHORUS:
I want something real
I cant buy or steal
A heart thats kind and true
Thats all just you
Bridge:
Billboards
Price wars
Buddy can you spare a dime
Neon
Come on
Dont you wanna step inside
Wholesale
Big deal
Yeah, you got it made in the shade
I know what they say
INSTRUMENTAL VERSE
VERSE 3:
Baby youre the right one
Come over here, well light one
And we can sit and talk for a spell
You know you got it comin
And baby Im the one
And I really want to raise some hell, well
(F)
Well bring them demons up
And set em right down in front of us
And when the smoke has cleared
Theyll never think again to bother us
(Em)
I dont believe much of what Im told
Except the part about the world and your soul
Baby
CHORUS:
Its not part of the scene
It aint in no magazine
Its no number on a ball
Its you thats all.
Well it aint on display
And it aint on Ebay
It aint Win, Lose Or Draw
Its you thats all
Everywhere I go
People wanna show me
Something that they won in the game
Its like they got the memo
Signed up for the demo
On how to live your life in vain insane
(F)
That aint my race to run
And just in case you dont understand
When that chase is won
All you embrace is made of sand
(Em)
I dont know why I would even try
I have this treasure I hold inside
Baby
CHORUS:

You dont see it on TV
