We Were Wealth Lyrics
by Wye Oak
Though I am grown,
I am living like a child now.
I wish, I want:
Giving myself everything
Fearing the release,
Keeping the peace
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e67454-wye_oak~we_were_wealth_lyrics.html ]
Say, for instance,
I pay money for an object
Sight unseen,
How is it that it speaks for me,
Borrowed never earned,
In debt from birth
Fill the days at any cost and spent your earnings,
Ease the losses
We were wealth and we were money,
Of the world and needing nothing
