that getting a silver medal wouldn't set me free
oh but you know that i really don't need
to catch no fame or credit
nor a big fat bank account with no debit
'cause even your peace of mind just can't wait
i sent a telegram marked urgent
i hope it gets to my door
i'm going free if they kill me
'cause this ain't much better anyway
that elusive brainchild of greed
money can't buy true friendship or trust
and applause will never be any substitute for love
i sent a telegram marked urgent
i hope it gets to my door
i'm going free if they kill me
'cause this ain't much better anyway
