[Verse 2]
Why was I such a young fool
Thought I'd make history
Making babies was the best I could do
Thought I'd make someting that could me mine forever
Found out the hard way once can't possess another
And all that you have is your soul
[Verse 3]
I thought, thought that I could find a way
to beat the system
to make a deal and have no debts to pay
I'd take it all, I'd run away
Me for myself fist class and first rate
But all that you have is your soul.
[Verse 4]
Here I am waiting for a better day
A second change
A little luck to come my way
A hope to dream, a hope that I can sleep again
And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands
'Cause all that you have is your soul.
