Hedonic Treadmill
I need a newer, bigger, better, object of desire.
My friend has purchased just the thing and really stoked the fire.
I’ll work another shift to find the money it will cost.
And never give a single thought to memories I have lost.
But for a moment caught in time, I’ll have the very best.
Look down upon my peers below me, scrambling and stressed.
It looks so grand just sitting there, my friends all ah and ooh
I’m quite ashamed to say I've not a clue what it will do.
