CAN’T You’ve bought into that lie- you know the one-

Climbing up that corporate ladder
Working for that prize- you know
A fancy car, a private plane

That he who has the most toys wins.
TAKE IT You’ve bought into that lie- you know-
Climbing up that social ladder
Never satisfied
A designer bag in every color

That she who has the most toys wins.

WITH You’ve spent your whole life working
For something that just won’t last
Believing- believing that he who has
the most toys wins
Come on now-
do you really think
you’re going to take it with you?
YOU It’s the latest model- the newest trend
Nuh uh- you’re not- No

Bigger, Better, Faster
I gotta’ have it now

I gotta’ have it now
I gotta’ have it now
I gotta’ have it now, now, now
Oh, If I could just have it now

Oh, come on now-alright
Did you really think you could
take it with you?
No, no, no, you can’t-
Can’t take it with you-
there’s no way-
So, what ya’ gonna do?
What ya’ gonna do?

Why not give a little, give a lot,
Give everything you’ve got
No- you can’t take it with you-
No, no, no, no, no
Bless someone else
Stop hoarding for yourself
You can’t take it with you
Can’t take it with you
