Swatkins - Gotta Give It Away (If You're Gonna Keep It) Lyrics




Used to be all so clear to me
I would have to scratch and steal just to make it (Just to make it)
Barely scraping by while my friends were riding high
If I could not get my own then I would take it (I would take it)
Lonely was that time, cuz I could not spare a dime
Even as I held it in my hand

Cuz I thought with all my might, if I could squeeze it tight
It wouldn't slip away like it was sand

Gotta Give It Away If You're Gonna Keep It (If you're gonna keep it)
There's enough for us all if you believe it
If you could give a damn, I know someone who needs it
Gotta Give It Away If You're Gonna Keep It baby

High from up above, I was living all alone
In my castle looking down below
I had climbed so far up, I felt I had so much
Still I remained so miserable
It ain't what it seems, The American Dream
Sweating after fortune and fame

When I stood there by myself, no one else to share my wealth
Saw I only had myself to blame

Gotta Give It Away If You're Gonna Keep It (If you're gonna keep it)
There's enough for us all if you believe it
If you could give a damn, I know someone who needs it
Gotta Give It Away If You're Gonna Keep It baby
