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
|
They don't want it there
|
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 grave
|
