Lyrics
Stepping over dollars to pick up a dime.
Behaving like a criminal to stop a petty crime.
Spending hour after hour just to save a little time.
The view’s not worth the climb.
The views not worth it.
It’s very rarely worth it.
The view’s not worth the climb.
Stepping into craters to avoid the cracks.
Selling at a loss just to save on tax.
Believing every lie just to avoid the facts.
The view’s not worth the climb.
The views not worth it.
It’s very rarely worth it.
The view’s not worth the climb.
I am a master at this masquerade.
The puppetmaster in this whole charade.
I’ll spin my wheels round and round.
Just to cover a couple inches of what I believe is sacred ground.
Even if it wastes my time.
And the view’s not worth the climb.
Spending money at a carnival to win a prize,
Then get a Diet Coke with my Big Mac and fries.
Buy some clothes cause their on sale when they ain’t even my size.
The view’s not worth the climb.
The views not worth it.
It’s very rarely worth it.
The view’s not worth the climb.
