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
