Do you think it really matters all that much If we drive in style or we walk the last mile to the gallows
Though you tried it makes no difference to be told That you're just too late But the hangman couldn't wait till the morning
So you walk away confused and feeling ill But you need the rest And your head is in a mess, you've been beaten
Give it all away Give it all away Give it all away
I feel guilty being free and rich and idle I'm as much to blame as anyone who allows this man to die ‘Cause in my eyes They just hung the wrong man
Do you think it really matters ‘cause you're rich That you broke the law While a poor man stayed poor to feed his children
And he finds it so degrading to be told That he's grown too old As he walks home in the cold, what can he tell them
As you watch his old grey eyes fill up with tears As he holds his wife And says he feels his life is nearly over
Give it all away Give it all away Give it all away
I feel guilty being free and rich and idle I'm as much to blame as anyone who stood back and held his peace ‘Cause in my eyes they just wronged a true man
Do you think it really matters in the war If you kill for God Or you're paid in gold to buy your conscience
I feel guilty being free and rich and idle I'm as much to blame as any one who shuts his eyes at what he sees ‘Cause in my eyes the world's wrong and God is dead
Give it all away Give it all away Give it all away
I feel guilty being free and rich and idle I'm as much to blame as anyone who stood back and held his peace ‘Cause in my eyes they just wronged a true man
Do you think it really matters in the war If you kill for God Or you're paid in gold to buy your conscience
I feel guilty being free and rich and idle I'm as much to blame as any one who shuts his eyes at what he sees ‘Cause in my eyes the world's wrong and God is dead
