I cannot say that I know you well But you can't lie to me with all these books that you sell I'm not trying to follow you to the end of the world I'm just trying to leave something behind Words have come from men and mouse But I can't help thinking that I've heard the wrong crowd When all the water is gone my job will be too And I'm trying to leave something behind Oh money is free but love costs more than our bread And the ceiling is hard to reach Oh the future ahead is broken and red But I'm trying to leave something behind This whole world is a foreign land We swallow the moon but we don't know our own hand We're running with the case but we ain't got the gold Yet we're trying to leave something behind My friends I believe we are at the wrong fight And I cannot read what I did not write I've been to His house, but the master is gone But I'd like to leave something behind There is a beast who has taken my brain You can put me to bed but you can't feel my pain When the machine has taken the soul from the man It's time to leave something behind Oh money is free but love costs more than our bread And the ceiling is hard to reach Oh the future ahead is already dead So I'm trying to leave something behind I got this feeling that I'm still at the shore And pockets don't know what it means to be poor I can get through the wall if you give me a door So I can leave something behind Oh wisdom is lost in the trees somewhere You're not going to find it in some mental gray hair It's locked up from those who hurry ahead And it's time to leave something behind Oh money is free but love costs more than our bread And the ceiling is hard to reach When my son is a man he will know what I meant I was just trying to leave something behind I was just trying to leave something behind
