Got this idea, in my head, and I can't get it out

cause all your money, and all your culture, I could surely live without

pile the treasures up on earth 

and what you keep and what you take

a property, a vanity, even knowledge for knowledge's sake

Quit your gripping shine your shoes

tell your little secrets for your booze 

don't make no difference who's watching from the stands

fat lady always claps her hands



Lord have mercy on me

you say it even if you're robbing from the poor

lord have mercy on me

I believe the words can change the heart

the words can change the heart

the words can change the Heart
