They’re working. I’m working
Trying to get more than the guy next door
But I know that my soul will never get rich off of fool’s gold
They want class, high class, climb that ladder to a high that won’t last
There’s no end in sight, ‘cuz you can’t see nothing when you don’t got the light

I’d rather have real than just pretend
I’d rather have more than a passing trend
Let the world keep the riches
I’ve got nothing but nothing to lose

I’d rather have you, you’re the only one I chose
I’d rather have you, only you

They want money. They got money
A castle of cash, watch it grow as they crash
into a hole deeper than before
They're digging a ditch screaming
"More, more, more! "

I'd rather be real than just feel good
I'd rather give more than what I should
Sick of living for myself
when there's everything to lose

I'd rather have you, you're the only one I chose
I'd rather have you, only you

I'd rather have you, you're the only one I chose
I'd rather have you, only you

Your love is real, not just pretend
Your love is more than a passing trend
Your love is real and it's always good
Your love is more

I'd rather have you, you're the only one I chose
I'd rather have you, only you

I'd rather have you, you're the only one I chose
I'd rather have you, only you
