Lyrics
Once I knew a man, in love with money
He said it solved his worries, and his cares
Then one day
I heard him say
Something I hear everywhere
Once I knew a man, in love with power
He bought a uniform, and he kept it clean
Then one day
I heard him say
There's something he'd never seen
Tell him how to find: true love and happiness
In the present day
Tell him how to find: true love and happiness
In the present day
Then I knew a girl, in love with living
Didn't like to stay, in one place long
Then one day
I heard her say
She'd discovered something's wrong
Tell her how to find: true love and happiness
In the present day
Tell her how to find: true love and happiness
In the present day
Tell her how to find: true love and happiness
In the present day
Tell her how to find: true love and happiness
In the present day
Tell him how to find: true love and happiness...
