There's no money, there's no possessions,
Only obsession, I don't need that shit,
Take my money, take my obsession

I just want to be heard, loud and clear are my words,
Coming from within man tell them what you heard,
It's about a revolution, in your heart and in your mind,
'Til you find a conclusion, lost out in obsession,
Diamond rings get you nothing but a life-long lesson,
And your pocketbooks stressing,
You're a slave to the system, working jobs that you hate for that shit you don't need,
It's too bad the world is based on greed,
Step back and see,
Stop thinking about yourself, start thinking aboutâ?¦

There's no money, there's no possession, only
Obsession, I don't need that shit
Take my money, take my possession, take my obsession,
I don't need that shit

Because everything is nothing,
And emptiness isn't everything,
This reality is really just a fucked up dream,
With the flesh and the blood that you call your soul,
Flip it inside out, it's a big black hole,
Take your money burn it up like an asteroid,
Possession, though you're never gonna feel the void,
Take it away and learn your best lesson,
The heart, the soul, the life, the passion

There's no money, there's no possession,
Only obsession, I don't need that shit
Take my money, take my possession, take my obsession,
I don't need that shit

Money, possession, obsession,
Present yourself, press your clothes, comb your hair,
And clock in,
You just can't win, just can't win,
And the things you own, own you
No!

Take my money, take my possession, take my obsession,
I don't need that shit
Fuck your money, fuck your possession, fuck your
Obsession, I don't need that shit
Money, possession, obsession, I don't need that shit

    General Comment:It shows how greed with all the material objects, money, it could be anything, that can possess you. I get a strong vibe of "fuck material objects because it CAN and it WILL consume you, destroy you. When you could be so much more by just being content with what you have.

    Song Meaning:This song is talking about the negativities of a materialistic society, arguing that it destroys emotional and social progress
    On a side note to the people talking about fight club and whether either of them copied off each other, and which came first, this is something you should consider
    Neither of them present an original idea, they both base themselves off a Buddhist concept that is explained both in "The Last Words of the Buddha" as well as "On Having No Self", and have been used in popular media and by progressive theorists ever since
    Before you talk about individuality, try looking back to origins

    General Comment:I think this song is about how people are owned by what they have.

    "I just want to be heard,
    Loud and clear are my words,
    Comin' from within man,
    Tell 'em what you heard
    It's about a revolution in your heart,
    And in your mind,
    You can find the conclusion,
    Lifestyle and obsession,
    Diamond rings get you nothing,
    But a life-long lesson,
    And your pocketbook stressin',
    You're a slave to the system,
    Working jobs that you hate,
    For that shit you don't need,
    Its too bad the world is based on greed,
    Step back and see,
    Stop thinking 'bout yourself,
    Start thinking 'bout,"
    This part I think is about, how people work doing things they don't want to earn something that they don't really need. Face the facts. The human race are a very greedy people.

    "There's no money, There's no possessions,
    Only obsession, I don't need that shit,
    Take my money, Take my obsession,"
    hes obviously saying that people are possessed by what they own. Hes also saying he doesn't want to be like that.

    General Comment:Excellent song!

    This song is sooo true. It outlines how pathetic society is and how all these people have turned us into materialistic freaks. The singer is trying to get across that you don't need to be materialistic to enjoy life. Soooo true!
