Patto - Give It All Away lyrics
[Patto - Give It All Away lyrics]
Do you think it really matters all that much
If we drive in style or we walk
The last mile to the gallows
Though you tried it makes no
Difference to be told
That you're just too late
But the hangman couldn't wait
Till the morning
So you walk away confused and feeling ill
But, you need the rest
And your head is in a mess
You've been beaten give it all away
Give it all away give it all away
I feel guilty being free and rich and idle
I'm as much to blame as anyone
Who allows this man to die ‘Cause in my eyes
They just hung the wrong man
Do you think it really
Matters ‘cause you're rich
That you broke the law
While a poor man stayed poor
To feed his children
And he finds it so degrading to be told
That he's grown too old
As he walks home in the cold
What can he tell them
As you watch his old grey
Eyes fill up with tears as he holds his wife
And says he feels his life is nearly over
Give it all away give it all away
Give it all away
I feel guilty being free and rich and idle
I'm as much to blame as anyone who
Stood back and held his peace
‘Cause in my eyes they just
Wronged a true man
Do you think it really matters in the war
If you kill for God
Or you're paid in gold to buy your conscience
I feel guilty being free and rich and idle
I'm as much to blame as any one who
Shuts his eyes at what he sees
‘Cause in my eyes the world's
Wrong and God is dead
Give it all away give it all away
Give it all away
I feel guilty being free and rich and idle
I'm as much to blame as anyone who
Stood back and held his peace
‘Cause in my eyes they just
Wronged a true man
Do you think it really matters in the war
If you kill for God
Or you're paid in gold to buy your conscience
I feel guilty being free and rich and idle
I'm as much to blame as any one who
Shuts his eyes at what he sees
‘Cause in my eyes the world's
Wrong and God is dead
Yes, in my eyes the world's
Wrong and God is dead
If we drive in style or we walk
The last mile to the gallows
Though you tried it makes no
Difference to be told
That you're just too late
But the hangman couldn't wait
Till the morning
So you walk away confused and feeling ill
But, you need the rest
And your head is in a mess
You've been beaten give it all away
Give it all away give it all away
I feel guilty being free and rich and idle
I'm as much to blame as anyone
Who allows this man to die ‘Cause in my eyes
They just hung the wrong man
Do you think it really
Matters ‘cause you're rich
That you broke the law
While a poor man stayed poor
To feed his children
And he finds it so degrading to be told
That he's grown too old
As he walks home in the cold
What can he tell them
As you watch his old grey
Eyes fill up with tears as he holds his wife
And says he feels his life is nearly over
Give it all away give it all away
Give it all away
I feel guilty being free and rich and idle
I'm as much to blame as anyone who
Stood back and held his peace
‘Cause in my eyes they just
Wronged a true man
Do you think it really matters in the war
If you kill for God
Or you're paid in gold to buy your conscience
I feel guilty being free and rich and idle
I'm as much to blame as any one who
Shuts his eyes at what he sees
‘Cause in my eyes the world's
Wrong and God is dead
Give it all away give it all away
Give it all away
I feel guilty being free and rich and idle
I'm as much to blame as anyone who
Stood back and held his peace
‘Cause in my eyes they just
Wronged a true man
Do you think it really matters in the war
If you kill for God
Or you're paid in gold to buy your conscience
I feel guilty being free and rich and idle
I'm as much to blame as any one who
Shuts his eyes at what he sees
‘Cause in my eyes the world's
Wrong and God is dead
Yes, in my eyes the world's
Wrong and God is dead
