"Don't Take That Attitude To Your Grave" lyrics


Words and music by Ben Harper

You say : "What's mine is mine
And what's yours is mine too !"
Now you've got more than you can spend
But all of the money in the whole wide world
Is not gonna help you in the end
Now, while there's still time to be saved
Don't take that attitude to your grave
Might be too late for you I'm afraid
So, don't take that attitude to your grave
Don't you take it there ?

I hear helicopters over my house every day
Shining their lights and flying low
Treat a child like a criminal from the day that he is born
You're gonna reap just what you sow
Now while there's still time to be saved
Don't take that attitude to your grave
Might be too late for you I'm afraid
So, don't take that attitude to your grave
Don't you take it there ?

So you can move your court case way across town
You can move it across the whole wide globe
But it ain't gonna help your court case up in the sky
When you go to put on your white robe
Now while there's still time to be saved
Don't take that attitude to your grave
Might be too late for you I'm afraid
Don't you... they don't want it there...
Don't you take it there ?

You dare the children to stay off of drugs
Now I dare you to stop letting them in
And how dare you point your finger
At a gang out on the street
While it's you who is committing the sin
Now while there's still time to be saved
Don't take that attitude to your grave
Might be too late for you I'm afraid
Don't take that attitude to your grave
Don't you take it there ?
They don't want it there
You know your mother taught you better
