All work no play may have made Jack a dull boy   But all work no God has left Jack with a lost soul   But he's moving on full steam   He's chasing the American dream   And he's gonna give his family the finer things      Not this time son I've no time to waste   Maybe tomorrow we'll have time to play   And then he slips into his new BMW   And drives farther and farther and farther away      'Cause He works all day and tries to sleep at night   He says things will get better, better in time      So he works and he builds with his own two hands   And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand   But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in   Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands   His kingdom stands      His American Dream is beginning to seem   More and more like a nightmare   With every passing day   "Daddy, can you come to my game?"   "Oh Baby, please don't work late."   Another wasted weekend   And they are slipping away      'Cause he works all day and lies awake at night   he tells them things will get better   It'll just take a little more time      'Cause he works and he builds with his own two hands   And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand   But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in   Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands   His kingdom stands      He used to say, "Whoever dies with the most toys wins"   But if he loses his soul, what has he gained in the end   I'll take a shack on a rock   Over a castle in the sand      Now he works all day and cries alone at night   It's not getting any better   Looks like he's running out of time      'Cause he worked and he built with his own two hands   And he poured all he had in a castle made with sand   But the wind and the rain are coming crashing in   Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands   His kingdom stands      All they really wanted was you   All they really wanted was you   All they really wanted was you
