People shouldn't live so high up
This building is too tall
You get funny ideas
When everything you see is so small

They say: Why don't you get a job
If you're needing to earn?
Well, it's good to take advice
But it's better to learn

And everything will be fine
When I own a building
All you have to do
Is own a building
You don't have to think twice
When you own a building (own it, own it)
You just count the years
When you own a building (own it, own it)

I'm making lists now
I'm ticking things off
I'm so far ahead
That I'm way behind

I see the limit
But I never reach it
You can always approach
But you will never arrive

And all I have to do
Is own a building (own it, own it)
The world comes to you
When you own a building (own it, own it)
You have a sense of time
When you own a building
And everything will be mine
When I own a building (own it, own it)
Yes
The world owes you a living (own it, own it)
When you own a building (own it, own it)
I'll need your signature (own it, own it)
When I own a building (own it, own it)
Here, here, and here

Own it

And everything will be fine (own it, own it)
And everything will be mine (own it, own it)
The world comes to you (own it, own it)
It's all you have to do (own it, own it)

Everything will be fine
Everything will be mine
