I read about this guy once
He seemed to own the earth
As far as big shots go and people in the know… well
He was definitely top of the list
Anything he wanted - he'd get it
Society's dream
Had lots of stuff - had lots of money
But you know what's funny?
He said it was all useless
Meaningless, meaningless
He said: Everything is meaningless
A chase after the wind
Don't wish for a better day
Be glad and use the one you're in
Fear God and do exactly what He says
That's what matters
All else fades like the flowers
Well, he'd tried pleasure
There was nothing in that
He built houses and gardens and parks
What good did it do?
Just got him more depressed
Meaningless, meaningless
He said: Everything's meaningless
But this is what I learned in all my years
Meaningless, meaningless
He said: Everything is meaningless
A chase after the wind
Don't wish for a better day
