He said I don't have anything,
He said things can hold you down.
If I had a house
I'd carry it around like a snail,
If I had a mail box
I'd wait for the mail.
If you buy a plot of ground,
That's where you are bound,
If you have keys and locks, they lock you in.
He said I don't have anything.
He said I don't have anything,
He said things can hold you down.
The dandelion's seed,
He throws it in the air anywhere.
He doesn't seem to care
Who owns the title deed
To the land on which he stands,
Holding up his hands,
To send his child out on a silver wing.
He said I do not own a thing.
