We're Rich On What We've Got
Triumvirat Lyrics

Your fifteen hundred bucks-a-month apartment
Your apartment that costs you fifteen hundred dollars per month

Is paid for by a numbered bank account
You pay the rent on this apartment from an account that is not linked to your name

You don't care where it's coming from
You don't have any concern about the source, as long as the rent is paid

To you it does come easy
It's not difficult for you to pay your rent

And a new financé always can be found
You can quickly find a new romantic partner

Wasting time on those meaningless possessions
You spend too much time on things that do not have any real value

Always longing for the things that you have not
You continuously desire the things which are beyond your reach

You can try and try again
You can make attempts again and again

Your ambitions are in vain
Your aims are not likely to be achieved

When you should have known
You should have realized earlier

You're rich on what you've got
You already have enough wealth

For years you've been an excellent pretender
You have been pretending to be someone else for many years

The virgin in your smile is not for real
Your pure and innocent smile is fake

But what kills you is the difference
The contrasting reality hurts you the most

between the life you're leading
The way you live your life currently

And the worry of exactly what you feel
But you're worried about your true emotions

Close your eyes and take a look at your depression
Reflect upon your emotional state

And the artificial things you do for love
The inauthentic things you do in the name of love

Your intentions might be vain
Your objectives might not lead to any positive outcome

But the effort sure would help a lot
But your attempts will still be valuable

For you to see
So that you can understand

We're rich on what we've got
We are already well-off with what we have

Oh we're rich on what we've got
We have a lot, and that's something to be grateful for

You don't care about a thing you own
You don't have any attachment to your possessions

But with all you have
But even with everything that you possess

You are still alone
You still feel lonely deep down

Running after what you're never going to need
You are chasing things that you're not going to require

Here you go and try again
So you try once more

Will your hunger ever come to an end
Will your need for material possessions ever end

When you go through all the junk you've got
When you review all the useless things you own

You'll find you really haven't got a lot
You'll realize that you don't actually have many valuable things

And the artificial things you love so much
The material possessions that you value greatly, but which are not genuine

Your ambition might be vain
Your aspiration may be futile

But the effort sure would help a lot
But putting in effort would still be beneficial

For you to see
For you to understand

We're rich on what we've got
We are already well-off with what we have
