Verse 1
(G major) I am not merely an economic unit,
I am human
How far off are we that,

Verse 2
your hourly wage?
What's your position? Your commission? How
(A minor) much are you for the day?
When we meet somebody new,
what is the first thing that we say?
(D major) "What do you do?" AKA, (C major)
"How much money do you make?"
And then we take that information
and we (G major) sort it in our brains
Assess the value,
calculate where to put them on (A minor) the page
The hierarchy of importance,
I mean, this is just insane
(D major) You're tellin' me that we've agreed to (C major) tie

Verse 4
year- old askin'
"Why?" until she's (F major) blue in (C major) the face
My inner child inquires about this money that we (A minor) make,
(C major) why? (A minor)
(C major) I make money 'cause I need (F major) it, why?
So (C major) I can have financial freedom, why?
So I can keep up with the Jones', why?
So someday I can own a home and, why?
So I can climb (F major) the social ladder (C major) , why?
(G major) So I feel like I even matter, why?

What if the status (F major) and class was love?

(F major) What if the money was not (G major) enough?
What if we worked nine to five for love?
What if the point of (A minor) this life was love?
What if the point of this life was love?
