Perfect Strings

(There is another world within
Your world of perfect strings
But as long as you are unconcerned
It will stay
Stay this way)

You must be completely carefree
Always going the easy way
There's nothing that could drag you down
Your lucky pockets never empty
But you're still not satisfied
Money is all that you think of all the time

You're not free
Trapped in your meaningless wealth
Wealth is not what you should seek
You cannot buy peace of mind
You don't see that many people need help
Help's not what you believe in,
but that the fittest will survive

They were born in endless worries
Never really had a chance
Got aching wounds all over them
They're longing for an easy living
Just enough to get along
They want to walk, they want to run
But everything is numb

They're not free
Trapped in their meaningless misery
Their poverty - don't you feel guilty?
Don't you see that you betray yourself?
Wealth is not what you should seek,
you cannot buy peace of mind

TV shows us crime and violence
And it seems like no one cares
Just excuses - no suggestions
Are you waiting for a miracle?
Folded arms, empty promises, why don't you see

Peace of mind
Longing for peace of mind
With your help only they'd see
What it means to be free
Peace of mind
Longing for peace of mind
With their help only you'd see
What it means to be free

Their poverty is the reason for your wealth
This cannot be right, start caring, please, don't you look away
