Look up at that building

It must be fifty stories tall

I see the water beyond the waves

I see it all

Moving round in the morning

Drink my coffee and tea

I remember how I thought it would be

A life for you and me

If I can have anything I want

If I can have it all

Then I can take

Knowing the way things are

Can’t you see

The money’s gone

I would buy you a house in Discovery Bay

With a deck, a boat, and a child

I would buy you back the blood you’ve lost

I’d buy us a little while

There’s a park outside behind the freeway

I take a little ride

What we borrow comes from somewhere

No matter how we hide

If I can have anything I want

If I can have it all

Then I can take

Knowing the way things are

Can’t you see

The money’s gone

Summer comes and goes

Nobody can hold it in

But I can’t get up

But I won’t give in

Everybody loses

And wins

There’s a view stretching over Broadway

Above the noise and din

I know what I spent my money on

I know what state I’m in

I’ll head down to California

I’ll head out east someday

And I’m taking you for what you are

And I’ll be with you all along your way

If I can have anything I want

If I can have it all

Then I can take

Knowing the way things are

Can’t you see

The money’s gone
