You may high-hat me all the time
You may never go my way
Mother Earth is laying for you,
and there's a debt you have to pay
Don't care how great you are
Don't care what you're worth
When it all ends up,
you've got to go back to Mother Earth
You may own half a city
Even diamants and pearls
You may own an airplane, baby
and fly all over the world
Don't care how great you are
Don't care what you're worth
'cause when it all ends up,
you've got to go back to Mother Earth
You may play the racehorses
You may own a race track
You may have enough money to buy anything you like
Don't care how great you are
Don't care what you're worth
'cause when it all ends up,
you've got to go back to Mother Earth
