I know that I should think about giving
And think about helping out
And think about, think about living
But I, I, I can't seem to rescue myselfI know that I should think about giving
And think about helping out
And think about, think about living
But I, I, I can't seem to rescue myselfWhat about my bank account and my holy desert shield
That keep me dry under the arms?
Flags and mental jewelry's all I know
And they keep me happy and warm insideSo I said unto this man
"Who are you and where do you come from?"
And he proceeded to tell me
Many, many, many, many, many, many, many things, yea
But I said nothing at allFor the flowers in the corner, by the room
In the window, and the sun
Said it allWhat about my bank account and my holy desert shield
That keep me dry under the arms?
Flags and mental jewelry's all I know
And they keep me happy and warm insideAt least they said they would
Said they could
Mama said they would
Do me goodI know that I should think about giving
And think about helping out
And think about, think about living
But I, I, I can't seem to rescue myself
