i'm brave
but i'm shaking
i'm near
yet i'm far
i don't believe in civilization
but yet still i drive a car
i'm crippled
but i'm walking
i'm freed
yet i'm barred
i don't believe in hard work
but yet still i have a farm
oh
look what it all comes down to
you ain't gonna figure it yet
till you got one hand full of ashes
and the other one is putting your soul to rest
i'm broke
but i'm still spending
i'm poor
but i'm kind
i'm a sinner
yet i'm an angel
i'm leading
but i'm behind
i'm dumb
but i'm talking
i'm seeing
yet i'm blind
i'm dull
but i'm still shinning
i'm alive
but i can die
oh
look what it all comes down to
you ain't gonna figure it yet
till you got one hand full of ashes
and the other one is putting your soul to rest
i ain't hungry
but i'm dining
i hate liquor
but i'm drinking wine
i'm puzzled to be crowned king
i'm the law
but i do crime
i'm cool
but i'm vicious
i'm a fool
but i'm wise
i'm a politician
but i'm not voting
i guess this is the end of my line
oh
look what it all comes down to
you ain't gonna figure it yet
till you got one hand full of ashes
and the other one is putting your soul to rest
oh
look what it all comes down to
you ain't gonna figure it yet
till you got one hand full of ashes
and the other one is putting your soul to rest
yeah
i'm sad
but i'm happy
and i'm not gonna loose my mind
it's late
but it's so early
and i wonder what's the time
oh
look what it all comes down to
you ain't gonna figure it yet
till you got one hand full of ashes
and the other one is putting your soul to rest
oh
look what it all comes down to
you ain't gonna figure it yet
till you got one hand full of ashes
and the other one is putting your soul to rest
