Song Experiment

"Getting Old of The New" (In the tune of a tragic comedy folktale; string quartet)
(Lead Singer) 
Almost all of it is at an expense,
Everything around us, i feel it's repress--                                                   
you would rather be better somehow,
knowing me--i would too--so lets go buy stuff now,

Can somebody please just express,
why we obsess over such an embarrassing mess--
soon the next best will come out,
knowing you--same here too--it makes us lesser now,

If only we had infinite money,
its smells just like honey--yet it makes life so crumby,
tune your ears to hear me loud,
knowing me--it is true--love of life is all you need now,

(Back-up Vocalists)
All of this gadgetry--its such a huge travesty,
none of its naturally making me live happily,

(Lead Singer and Back-Up)
Getting old of the new, so what should i do?
Take a look at life, and the simple things--
that's when its hits you, love and life will get everyone through.
