What Good Is Life

What good is money if it can't help those I care about
What good is life if I can't live for others
For life is a feirus wheel that keeps going about,
in circles that's why when it's dark on our side, the sun shines on others 

What good is money if it buys everything
What good is life if everything has a price tag
Cause those who have are out here getting everything 
While those who don't are left behind to lag 

What good is money if there are people who still suffer 
What good is life if everything good always hurts
It's like we were put out here to suffer
Or its because we too detached that we have no hearts 

What good is money if it can't buy my freedom
What good is life if I'm bound to some rules
Rules that were written in some room
For others to follow while the wicked rules 

What good is money if it comes and goes
What good is life if once it goes it never comes back
Or I can't get an answer to this cause just how life goes
That the only good thing to man (life) one never gets back
