From the recordings Give it All Away and Fabulous Junkyard
Lyrics
Got a simple story to tell
Don’t know if I can say it well
Each time I try to speak my mind
All kinds of trouble I do find
Because I give it all away
And no one even has to pay
I can’t believe the things I say
(I) don’t even sell it for a song, can’t figure out where I went wrong
Inside that perfect world of mine
Communication’s so sublime
Yes, I would thrill with such delight (to find)
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Then I could give it all away
I wouldn’t need to make you pay
So many things I wouldn’t say
I wouldn’t sell you for a song, make you admit that you were wrong
So no more rush to follow rules
They always make me play the fool
Instead I choose the golden one
Do unto you and me as I’d want done
Then I could give it all away
I wouldn’t need to make me pay
So many things I’d love to say
That I could put into a song, I wouldn’t care if it sounds wrong
