You say what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine

too now you've got more than you can spend but

all of the money in the whole wide world is not

gonna help you in the end

now while there's still time to be saved

don't take that attitude to your grave

might be too late for you I'm afraid

don't take that attitude to your grave

don't you take it there



I hear helicopters over my house

every day shining their lights and flying low

treat a child like a criminal from the day that he is born and

you're gonna reap just what you sow now

while there's still time to be saved

don't take that attitude to your grave

might be too late for you I'm afraid

don't take that attitude to your grave

don't you take it there



So you can move your court case way across town

you can move it across the whole wide globe

but it ain't gonna help your court case up in the sky



when you go to put on your white robe now

while there's still time to be saved

don't take that attitude to your grave

might be too late for you I'm afraid

don't take that attitude to your grave

don't you take it there



And you dare the children to stay off of drugs

now I dare you to stop letting them in and how dare you point your finger at a gang out on



the street

while it's you who is committing the sin now while there's still time to be saved

don't take that attitude to your grave

might be too late for you I'm afraid

don't take that attitude to your grave

don't you take it there

they don't want it there

you know your mother taught you better

don't take that attitude to your g
