Well the king told the kingdom that he would pay
not enough gold in the world
any woman who could spin him gold from hay
not enough gold in the world
well there’s plenty going round for the women and men
but there’s nothing for the boys and the girls
where’s it coming from 'cause the king won’t pay
there’s just not enough in the world
no, just not enough in the world
I’m driving to the corner and the green turns gold
not enough green in the world
I’m sittin on the corner and I’m a growin old
not enough green in the world
no, not enough green in the world
I’m sitting at the corner of elm and main
not enough lights in the world
and I’m prayin to the lord that the light’s-a-gonna-change
not enough lights in the world
no, not enough lights in the world
Chorus
now I’ve been told about a thousand points of light
not enough points in the world
I’m looking and I only see the dark of night
not enough points in the world
no, not enough points in the world
Chorus
