Verse 1:

I'm brave but I'm shaking

I'm near but yet I'm far

I don't believe in civilization

But yet I still drive a car

I'm crippled but I'm walking

I'm freed yet I'm barred

I don't believe in hard work

But still I have a farm



Chorus:

But look what it all comes down to

Ain't goona figure it yet

'Till you have one hand full of ashes

And the other hand is putting your soul to rest



Verse 2:

I'm broke but I'm still spending

I'm poor but I'm kind

I'm a sinner yet I'm an angel

I'm leading but I'm behind

I'm dumb but I'm talking

I'm seeing yet I'm blind

I'm dull but I'm still shinning

I'm alive but I can die



Chorus



Verse 3:

I ain't hungry but I'm drinking

I hate liquor but I'm drinking wine

I'm puzzled to be crowned king

I'm the law but I do crime

I'm cool but I'm vicious

I'm a fool but I'm wise

I'm a politician but I'm not voting

I guess this is the end of my line



Chorus



Verse 4 (Bridge):

I'm sad but I'm happy

I'm not gonna loose my mind

It's late but it's so early

And I wonder what's the time
