Don?t drag me down when you fall
Don?t you know it?s a privilege
You?ve got so much, got it all
Still you?re counting your riches
And I could be ten years old
With a hole in my belly
No shoes on my soul
Chorus:
But I am here
Take my car, take my girl
I?m the richest man in the world
Steal my gold, take my pearls
I?m the richest man in the world
All that I am, I lay down
In a mess of confusion
This simple song it?s a simple sound
But just gifts that I?m using
And I could be ten years old
With a hole in my belly
No shoes on my soul
Chorus
And all you say don?t mean a thing
(could I give it all away)
You?ll show your colors when you bleed
(could I give it all away)
You say let it go but I don?t know . . .
Maybe . . . give it all away, give it all away
Chorus
And I gotta be free
Don?t wanna be chained to this
But it?s chained to me,
I gotta be free from the chains that bind me
Don?t you know it?s a privilege
You?ve got so much, got it all
Still you?re counting your riches
And I could be ten years old
With a hole in my belly
No shoes on my soul
Chorus:
But I am here
Take my car, take my girl
I?m the richest man in the world
Steal my gold, take my pearls
I?m the richest man in the world
All that I am, I lay down
In a mess of confusion
This simple song it?s a simple sound
But just gifts that I?m using
And I could be ten years old
With a hole in my belly
No shoes on my soul
Chorus
And all you say don?t mean a thing
(could I give it all away)
You?ll show your colors when you bleed
(could I give it all away)
You say let it go but I don?t know . . .
Maybe . . . give it all away, give it all away
Chorus
And I gotta be free
Don?t wanna be chained to this
But it?s chained to me,
I gotta be free from the chains that bind me
