Lyrics

Verse:
All he had to do was turn around
All he had to do was walk away
But the view from the roof proved too much
For the king that day

She was beautiful
But not available
Still passion won the fight for right or wrong
And David slept in the bed he made

Chorus:
It?s not worth it when the consequences find you
It?s not worth it when the holy is torn
When the good that could have been is traded in
For a pleasure on a whim
It?s not worth it, it?s not worth it

Verse:
All he had to do was lay them down
All he had to do was give them away
But the riches he adored proved too much
For the boy that day

He had it all
Or so he thought
Eternal life slipped through his hands
Thanks to his glittering money god

Chorus:
It?s not worth it when the consequences find you
It?s not worth it when the holy is torn
When the good that could have been is traded in
For a pleasure on a whim
It?s not worth it, it?s not worth it
