As it was in the beginning
It will be until the end
Your money buys you people,
But it will not buy you friends
Your life is an illusion,
So live it day by day
Just draw your own conclusion,
It's gonna happen anyway

Now you've been around
The things you've found
Just get you down
A life of ease
Makes hard to please,
You have it all
No one tells you why
The things you buy
Don't get you high
The life you lead,
Just what you need
It isn't there
Does no one care?

As it was in the beginning
It will be until the end
Your money buys you people,
But it will not buy you friends
Your life is an illusion,
So live it day by day
Just draw your own conclusion,
It's gonna happen anyway
