Our lives are made of not but shallow things
Relax, its not you who has to worry
Let time pass by, try if you can to sing

Just sip your champagne and wear diamond rings
Assuredly homeless know no fury
Our lives are made of not but shallow things

Bourgeois in the past, it has no meaning
Be elegant, there’s no need to hurry
Let time pass by, try if you can to sing

Not you but the unfortunate will sting
Don’t fret, don’t cry, don’t get in a flurry
Our lives are made of not but shallow things

To money, wretched money, do you cling
But money, from pockets, it does scurry
Let time pass by, try if you can to sing

The sound you hear is not your own screaming
Sit calm, sit back, watch the world go blurry
Let time pass by, try if you can to sing
Our lives are made of not but shallow things
