Good metaphor, man.

"I've got no money in my hands or my coat or my pocket.

Won't get to space 'cos I haven't got a rocket.

But I've got air in my lungs,

eyes in my sockets,

and a heart that beats 

like a tap that leaks

in the night when you haven't got a plumber who can stop it.

Jack in the box without a key to lock it.

Wellm this boat may sink but I'm not gonna rock it,

'cos the sea doesn't know my name.

Yeah the boat may sink but I'm not gonna rock it,

'cos the sea doesn't know my name.

Well, if you can't get what you love,

you learn to love the things you've got.

If you can't be what you want,

you learn to be the things you're not.

If you can't get what you need,

you learn to need the things that stop you dreaming.

All the things that stop you dreaming."
