Dont drag me down when you fall

Dont you know its a privilege

Youve got so much, got it all

Still youre 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

Im the richest man in the world

Steal my gold, take my pearls

Im the richest man in the world



All that I am, I lay down

In a mess of confusion

This simple song its a simple sound

But just gifts that Im using



And I could be ten years old

With a hole in my belly

No shoes on my soul



Chorus



And all you say dont mean a thing

(could I give it all away)

Youll show your colors when you bleed

(could I give it all away)

You say let it go but I dont know . . .

Maybe . . . give it all away, give it all away



Chorus



And I gotta be free

Dont wanna be chained to this

But its chained to me,

I gotta be free from the chains that bind me
