You may not have me all the time
You may never go my way
Mother Earth is waitin' for you
It's a debt you have to pay
I don't care how great you are
Or what you're worth
When it all comes down
You got to go back to Mother Earth
You may own half of a city
Even diamonds and pearls
You may have your own airplane
You may fly, fly, fly all over this world
But I don't give a d*** what you are
When it all comes down
You got to go back to Mother Earth
You may play with the horses, baby
You may own a racetrack.
You may have enough money
To buy anything you may need
I don't care how great you are,
Don't give a d*** what you're worth.
When it all, all comes down
You got to go back to Mother Earth
You may not have me all the time
You may never go my way
Mother Earth is waitin' for you
It's a debt you have to pay
I just don't care how great you are
Or what you're worth
When it all comes down
You got to go back to Mother Earth
When it all comes down
You got to go back to Mother Earth
You may never go my way
Mother Earth is waitin' for you
It's a debt you have to pay
I don't care how great you are
Or what you're worth
When it all comes down
You got to go back to Mother Earth
You may own half of a city
Even diamonds and pearls
You may have your own airplane
You may fly, fly, fly all over this world
But I don't give a d*** what you are
When it all comes down
You got to go back to Mother Earth
You may play with the horses, baby
You may own a racetrack.
You may have enough money
To buy anything you may need
I don't care how great you are,
Don't give a d*** what you're worth.
When it all, all comes down
You got to go back to Mother Earth
You may not have me all the time
You may never go my way
Mother Earth is waitin' for you
It's a debt you have to pay
I just don't care how great you are
Or what you're worth
When it all comes down
You got to go back to Mother Earth
When it all comes down
You got to go back to Mother Earth
