[Verse 1] Yesterday came suddenly Tomorrow will receive Today, now you're at the wheel I'll ask, how does it feel? Yesterday when heaven's gates I contemplate, they seem so far Today they ain't so far away And almost seem a drag [Chorus] Keep what ya got, by giving it all away Keep what ya got, by giving it all away Keep what ya got, hold it, don't stop Keep what ya got, by giving it all away [Verse 2] When your halo slips for good You'll have to wear your hood Good to feel the breeze of fear on All you cynics, I'm your mimic All you losers, all abusers
Wasting all my precious energy [Chorus] [Bridge] Remember where you came from Sister, she told ya on a rainy day It's said that heaven holds a place For all of those who pray And if ya don't believe in agony Then ya don't care anyway Nobody or nothing's ever getting in your way Even as you cradle on but don't feel you belong No one's gonna notice if you're never right or wrong And if you and your next neighbour, yeah, ya don't quite get along No one's gonna notice if you're singing anyway Those not coming in for free will learn they gotta pay
