Cars and Cigars

I see, a generation of greed
And they're crying, they're crying, they're crying to see
I won't, sit back and watch you choke
'Cause you're dying, you're dying, you're dying to see
Yes, the life of fame and fortune, ain't for me

Ooh, yeah, we need a change
Ooh, but this feeling fades

So, you take your cars and cigars
Don't hide from the man that you are
'Cause you can't hold on to something you never had
No, you can't hold on to something you never had

You can't find, these pictures put in your mind
'Cause they're lying, they're lying, they're lying to you
You go on, singing the same old song
That you're trying, you're trying, you're trying to preach
But I swear to you, it won't work on me

Ooh, yeah, we need a change
Ooh, but this feeling fades

So, you take your cars and cigars
Don't hide from the man that you are
'Cause you can't hold on to something you never had

So, what's the use in going on
If all we do is sing the same old song
I'm not one to judge, but is your life what it was
Can you tell me that you're any better now
What's the point of all these things
If all the people that we need are gone, they're gone
We'll lose our moms and dads
And forget the friends we had
But I hope you find what you're looking for
'Cause they're crying, and they're dying
They're lying and you're trying

So, you take your cars and cigars
Don't hide from the man that you are
'Cause you can't hold on to something you never had
No, you can't hold on to something you never had
