He who seeks of only vanity
And no love for humanity
Shall fade away, fade away
He who checks for only wealth
And not for his physical health
Shall fade away, fade away
Though some believe in diamonds and pearl
And feel like they're on top of the world
They shall fade away, hear what I say
The rich is getting richer every day
And the little that the poor man got
It shall be taken away.
Do you hear what I say? Yeah, hear what I say
The man who worships silver and gold
Shall surely, surely, surely lose his own soul
Then fade away
The one who's always acting smart
And don't carry no love in his heart
He who seeks of only vanity
And no love for humanity
Shall fade away, fade away
He who checks for only wealth
And not for his physical health
Shall fade away, fade away
Though some believe in diamonds and pearl
And feel like they're on top of the world
They shall fade away, hear what I say
The rich is getting richer every day
And the little that the poor man got
It shall be taken away.
Do you hear what I say? Yeah, hear what I say
The man who worships silver and gold
Shall surely, surely, surely lose his own soul
Then fade away
The one who's always acting smart
And don't carry no love in his heart
Shall fade away
God is here and there and everywhere
And He knows when you play the game unfair
So people beware, or else you fade away!
Hey, beware! Or dare you fade away?
You've gotta fade, gotta fade, gotta fade now
(.)
The rich is getting richer every day
And the little that the poor man got
It shall be taken away.
Do you hear what I say, hey? Hear what I say
The one who's always acting smart
And forgetting to carry love in his heart
Shall fade away
God is here and there and everywhere
And His eyes, His eyes are watching you
You're gonna fade away, yeah, yeah
You're goin' to fade, fade, fade, fade away
Fade away. yeah, yeah
