You want the world to love you
But you don’t love yourself
Your yearnings tower above you
There’s always one more shelf
There’s always one step higher
There’s always one yard more
Another happy liar
What Are You Living For?
And this is one step higher
Contentment’s run away
You should be feeling happy
Need another fix today?
Need another fix today?
Need another fix today?
Need another fix today?
Need another fix today?
There’s always one step higher
There’s always one yard more
Another happy liar
What Are You Living For?
(Instrumental)
Stretch again to your tip toes
Reaching out for one more gain
Just one more centimeter
Then everything is “great” again
Everything is “great” again
Everything is “great” again
Everything is “great” again
Everything is “great” again
There’s always one step higher
There’s always one yard more
Another happy liar
What Are You Living For?
There’s always one step higher
There’s always one yard more
Another happy liar
What Are You Living For?!
Written whilst I was still stuck in the corporate world but well on the way to fully waking up and getting out.
I saw this tyoe of behaviour a lot in those days, having first recognised it in myself earlier of course. We're conditioned into thinking that we will be happy if we just make it to the next level or gain the next bit of stuff. But of course that doesn't happen, and when you try to make yourself happy merely through material gain you're always ultimately left disappointed and wondering 'What Are You Living For?'
