Story behind 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
