Verse2:
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
Verse3:
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.
Verse4:
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.
