Better Than A Thousand

I know it's the substance that really counts, but we're into number
we judge by amount. I know it the good, not just the plenty and with
all our abundance we end up empty.
We deserve cake but we've settled for crumbs,
but I know one is better than a 1000?
Taught how to purchase we consume by the pound but open us up
there's not much to be found.
It could simply imbibe a one sentence
of truth it's outweigh all the shit we drank up in our youth.
