The Price

We seek our fortune,
we seek our fame,
when we lose our perspective,
only we are to blame...

We seek our silver,
we seek our gold,
we'll throw away everything,
if our praises be told...

We soak in the glory,
we revel in all of the cheers,
when all is said and done,
we never get back all those years.
