As it was in the beginning
It will be until the end.
Your money buys you people,
But it will not buy you friends.
Your life is an illusion,
So live it day by day.
Just draw your own conclusion,
It's gonna happen anyway

Now you've been around
The things you've found
Just get you down.
A life of ease
Makes hard to please,
You have it all.

No one tells you why
The things you buy
Don't get you high.
The life you lead,
Just what you need.
It isn't there.
Does no one care?

As it was in the beginning
It will be until the end.
Your money buys you people,
But it will not buy you friends.
Your life is an illusion,
So live it day by day
Just draw your own conclusion,
It's gonna happen anyway
