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
