I know that I should think about giving And think about helping out And think about, think about living But I, I, I can't seem to rescue myself I know that I should think about giving And think about helping out And think about, think about living But I, I, I can't seem to rescue myself What about my bank account and my holy desert shield That keep me dry under the arms? Flags and mental jewelry's all I know And they keep me happy and warm inside So I said unto this man "Who are you and where do you come from?" And he proceeded to tell me Many, many, many, many, many, many, many things, yea But I said nothing at all For the flowers in the corner, by the room In the window, and the sun Said it all What about my bank account and my holy desert shield That keep me dry under the arms? Flags and mental jewelry's all I know And they keep me happy and warm inside At least they said they would Said they could Mama said they would Do me good I know that I should think about giving And think about helping out And think about, think about living But I, I, I can't seem to rescue myself
