Don't Take That Attitude To Your Grave - Ben Harper

You say what's mine is mine

And what's yours is mine too

Now you've got more than you can spend

But all of the money

In the whole wide world

Is not gonna help you in the end

Now while there's still time to be saved

Don't take that attitude to your grave

Might be too late for you i'm afraid

Don't take that attitude to your grave

Don't you take it there

I hear helicopters

Over my house every day

Shining their lights and flying low

Treat a child like a criminal

From the day that he is born

And you're gonna reap just what sow

Now while there's still time to be saved

Don't take that attitude to your grave

Might be too late for you i'm afraid

Don't take that attitude to your grave

Don't you take it there

So you can move your court case

Way across town

You can move it across the whole wide globe

But it ain't gonna help your court case

Up in the sky

When you go to put on your white robe

Now while there's still time to be saved

Don't take that attitude to your grave

Might be too late for you i'm afraid

Don't take that attitude to your grave

Don't you take it there

And you dare the children

To say off of drugs

Now I dare you to stop letting them in

And how dare you point your finger

At a gang out on the street

While it's you who is committing the sin

Now while there's still time to be saved

Don't take that attitude to your grave

Might be too late for you i'm afraid

Don't take that attitude to your grave

Don't you take it there

Don't you take it there

They don't want it there

You know your mother taugh you better

Don't take that attitude to your grave
