You never learned nothin' from those days

Sippin' on your riches, man, pissin' it all away

I feel for you because you're carryin' on the flame

But don't turn, please, don't give it all away.

I never thought I'd end up the richer man

You go into the bank, and me holding her hand

I never thought love would come smack you on your face

But don't turn, please, don't give it all away.

And every time that I see conflict in the east

There's angry shadows in their minds, chasin' us 'round the corner

And every time that I see conflict in the east

There's angry shadows in their minds, chasin' us 'round the corner.

I never thought I'd end up the richer man

You go into the bank, and me holding her hand

I never thought love would come smack you on your face

But don't turn, please, don't give it all away.
