1
All work, no play may have made Jack a dull boy
2
But all work, no God has left Jack with a lost soul
3
But he's moving on full steam, he's chasing the American dream
4
He's gonna give his family, the finer things
5
Not this time, son, I've no time to waste
6
Maybe tomorrow, we'll have time to play
7
Then he slips into his new BMW
8
And drives farther and farther and farther away
9
'Cause he works all day and tries to sleep at night
10
He says, "Things will get better, better in time"
11
So he works and he builds with his own two hands
12
And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand
13
But the wind and the rain are comin' crashin' in
14
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands, his kingdom stands
15
His American Dream is beginning to seem
16
More and more like a nightmare with every passing day
17
"Daddy, can you come to my game?"
18
"Oh baby, please don't work late"
19
Another wasted weekend and they are slipping away
20
'Cause he works all day and lies awake at night
21
He tells them, "Things will get better, just take a little more time"
22
So he works and he builds with his own two hands
23
And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand
24
But the wind and the rain are comin' crashin' in
25
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands, his kingdom stands
26
He used to say, "Whoever die with the most toys, wins"
27
But if he loses his soul, what has he gained in the end
28
I'll take a shack on a rock over a castle in the sand
29
Now he works all day and cries alone at night
30
It's not getting any better, looks like he's running out of time
31
'Cause he worked and he built with his own two hands
32
And he poured all he had in a castle made with sand
33
But the wind and the rain are comin' crashin' in
34
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands, his kingdom stands
35
All they really wanted was you
36
All they really wanted was you
37
All they really wanted was you
