I wish we could see where the dreams all went
I wish we could see where the money got spent
I wish we could see that the greatest crime
Was to fool all of the people to spend all their time

I wish we could see why we need so much stuff
I wish we could see that enough is enough
I wish we could see that the goings got tough
'Cause my living room's crammed and my passion's backed off

Value what is necessary, leave what is not
And tell me what I'm doing in another shop

I wish we could see that we're outta control
I wish we could see that we binge out our soul
I wish we could see that we're gonna have to stop
There's no one in the church 'cause they're all in the shop

I wish we could see what is hard to believe
I wish we could see better to give than receive
I wish we could see that we've lost the plot
All this envy is coveting of what we ain't got

Value what is necessary, leave what is not
And tell me what I'm doing in another shop

I tried to give up smoking, I tried to give up drugs
I tried to give up smoking weed, but I have to walk the dog
I tried to give up drinking, but I think I need a drink
I tried to give up thinking that I was the missing link

In the year of the dog will we understand worth
The happiness we'll find in breath you draw on earth
The year of the dog is the year of the smurf
I don't know what the franchise is worth

Value what is necessary, leave what is not
And tell me what I'm doing in another shop
Value what is necessary, leave what is not
And tell me what I'm doing in another shop

Brought up in the world of Caesars Palace
I'm being poisoned on a daily basis
They ain't got food tasters in some of these places
Caesars Palace

Brought up in the world of Caesars Palace
And now I got so much stuff I don't need
It's a sickness, you can call it greed
Caesars Palace

Brought up in the world of Caesars Palace
It's a sin, get the money in
Validate the parking, you can wash away your sins
Caesars Palace

Brought up in the world of Caesars Palace
And the odds are a trillion to one
And still I want some
Caesars Palace
