Quality Or Quantity

Offer me eternity, and I’ll trade a cup of coffee and a dime
Looking for a handout on behalf of those who have so little time

But who wants to live on just 70 cents a day?
Padding your pockets doesn’t make this a better place
’Cereal and water’ is a feast for some you say
Your price-tag on existence can’t cover your double face

Quality or quantity
Quality or quantity
Quality or quantity
A choice you have to make

Dipping in the icing, bringing home the largest turkey from the field
Breaking all the piggy banks, scooping up the booty
Licking all the right holes, bolstering the payroll

Why reduce life to a dollar amount per day?
And why let the world think this is the American way?
Your uneaten greens are a feast for some you say
Survival and living are concepts you can’t equate

Don’t tell me they’re the same
