When earthly things
Takes preference over
Relationships
When you are down and out
Do you think that car or that house
Will comfort you?

That it will pick up the phone
And ask how you doing?
That it will visit you in hospital?

Don't become lost
In the value of things
And neglect the ones
Who can read your mind
Who somehow knows when you are sad

'Because those earthly things makes the vilest bedfellows
