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
