Which way should we go?

Doing something.. . we must always be doing something

This is what we're  hearing from  the endless mass of nothing

Who think that we are valued by the things that we can  do

Isn't it odd,  how we are being  brainwashed to believe that this is true>

But what is  all  that something..that..   we must absolutely do

To be considered as  someone:  important, valuable and true?

Is it the raking up  of  money or in  the  building up of our bank

Tell me  what you think it is: that will move us up in  "rank"

Society keeps on  telling us:  to burn those midnight oils

And never to take a break from this: our blood, our sweat,our  toils

Yet, if,  we are  bringing in so much to build our lasting  nest

Who are we really doing this for;  when we can never really rest

It is a complete and utter falacy to think that we are more 

Because of what we bringing in from the most expensive store

We cannot foolishly believe this:  that we are, what we can display

Instead we should really realize that we become a societal slave 

We cannot be truly happy if we are needing  more and more

And cannot find true wholeness in the shopping mall or store

Yet we  will lay down every credit card and load the car or  plane

Seeking for what's inside of us; aren't we all  a bit insane

If someone would tell us ..it's  foolishiness; we'd brush it all away

Because we're  addicted to the havingness and know no other way

After all we worked so hard for this:  this,  moneyness, you know 

So don't try to tell us that:  this spendingness must go..
