The powerful, they pass me by I see their ways, but I'm too shy And careful, so careful I shroud myself with chivalry If someone wanna step on me I'll bow down, so low down One last straw The meek will inherit it all Be careful, be careful The mighty have further to fall I've been a mule, I've played the fool My momma says the golden rule Is priceless, just priceless If someone wanna throw a stone Well they can pick me to the bone I'll kill 'em with kindness One last straw The meek will inherit it all Be careful, be careful The meek will inherit it all Oh! God! The mighty have further to fall Be grateful, be grateful The mighty have further to fall
