Can you Buy?

Can you really buy your way into heaven?
Apparently so........
If your steeple reaches higher, do you have head start?

Can you really buy another's soul outright?
Apparently so........
If you pay for every bruise and cut, you're welcome to the heart.

Is it really just about how much you make and how you spend?
Is the mark that we leave on the world that petty?
Can you truly be a good man and assume you've done it right?
When after all is said and done, you're not remembered

I believe that you can
That it comes from inside
That a man is a man when he deals with the pride
That comes from the right way
And albeit fleeting
If all were to think this and be this and try this
The world would be sweeter and it'd be a fine day

Can you really spend more, buy a better life?
Apparently so........
If your TV and your car are new and pricey you are cooler.

Will it make you happier to buy a pretty young wife?
Apparently so........
If you keep it up, you may actually fool them.

Into thinking it's about how much you make and how you spend
As you boast about your mark and how its bigger
And pretend to be a good man, but who would know with all the glitter
When after all is said and done, I hope it leaves you feeling better

And so the question at hand
The separation in question
Is the thought that one can be worthy without
Can be worthy without and without, can be worthy
