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
