All that effort, all that fuss A mindless lesson, a mindless buzz You could build a boat with energy wasted And sail off into a hippie sunset But no, let's just pretend Take our shots and fall down dead Wake up on the count of ten With your hands in your pockets ready to spend You could send a kiss ten thousand miles And plant it on the smallest child But why should that make sense to you You're not trying to raise a smile - it's true You don't know how to spend it... Spend spend spend
