Can't Take It With You Songtext / Lyric

Works hard all his life for the children and the wife

Saving daddy's money for some empty future dream

They have all things money can buy

But they can't buy the peace of mind it seems



Why try to own the land and the sky?

Most of us struggle to survive






There was an old man who worked his whole life

To make life better for him and his wife

His children told him there was a better way

But it was all he knew and he died a burned out soul



Why try to own the land and the sky?

Most of us struggle to survive



Don't be fooled by the values of the times

No matter what is said we all must die

You can't buy happiness, you can't buy love

And don't be fooled by so called redemption from above



And in the end it's all meaningless

Just question everything and always ask why
