[Verse 2]

Why was I such a young fool

Thought I'd make history

Making babies was the best I could do

Thought I'd make someting that could me mine forever

Found out the hard way once can't possess another

And all that you have is your soul

[Verse 3]

I thought, thought that I could find a way

to beat the system

to make a deal and have no debts to pay

I'd take it all, I'd run away

Me for myself fist class and first rate

But all that you have is your soul.

[Verse 4]

Here I am waiting for a better day

A second change

A little luck to come my way

A hope to dream, a hope that I can sleep again

And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands

'Cause all that you have is your soul.

All that you have is your soul...
