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

So He works all day and tries to sleep at night

He says things will get better;
Better in time


And 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


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 the 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
