# What shall we use to fill the empty spaces
# Where waves of hunger roar
# Shall we set out across this sea of faces
# In search of more and more applause
# Shall we buy a new guitar
# Shall we drive a more powerful car
# Shall we work straight - through the night
# Shall we get into fights
# Leave the lights on
# Drop bombs
# Do tours of the East
# Contract diseases
# Bury bones
# Break up homes
# Send flowers by phone
# Take to drink
# Go to shrinks
# Give up meat
# Rarely sleep
# Keep people as pets
# Train dogs
# Race rats
# Fill the attic with cash
# Bury treasure
# Store up leisure
# But never relax at all
# With out backs to the wall
