Keep What Ya Got







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





Keep what ya got, by givin' it all away
Keep what ya got, by givin' it all away





Keep what ya got, hold it, don't stop
Keep what ya got, by givin' it all away






When your halo slips for good
You'll have to wear your hood
Good to feel the breeze of fear





On all the cynics, I'm your mimick
All you losers, all abusers
Wasting all my precious energy







Keep what ya got, by givin' it all away
Keep what ya got, by givin' it all away





Keep what ya got, hold it, don't stop
Keep what ya got, by givin' it all away






Remember where you came from
Sisters who told ya on a rainy day
They said that Heaven holds a place






For all of those who prey
And if you don't believe in agony
Then you don't care anyway
Nobody or nothings ever gettin' in your way







Even as you played along
But don't feel you belong
No one's gonna notice if you never right or wrong





And if you and your next neighbor
Yeah, you 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
