lyrics

You've got your liberty and you've got everything we need, endless alleys of products to choose from

But is this the kind of freedom you would stand up and sing songs about passionately when you were young



Don't count the cars, don't count the cars

Count the people on the bus

Don't count the cops, don't count the cops

Count the smiles

And you'll know how rich we are



The times treated you well and your new house in the hills has the same view you once were opposing

You keep on adding up and post-purchase rationalize so you don't risk the values you've gained



And I really can't tell if you sold out

All I know is you bought in

You stay distracted by the decoys

Ready to bite the hook again



You tried to change the world but didn't make it

So you changed yourself instead

Should you ever wonder where that got us

Then count the smiles

And you'll know how rich we are
