What If We Give It Away

by R.E.M.

from Album: Lifes Rich Pageant

On the outside underneath the wall
All the money couldn?t buy
You?re mistaken no one?s standing there
For the record no one tried

Oh I try to
What if we give it away?

Overlooking with a hollow eye
What?s pretending is it right
Eye for order a hand for what?s in line
Couldn?t follow couldn?t write

And our life is fine here
Stitch it on your tie here

Here?s the trailer Tom
A year has come and gone
We?re not moving was it right
Take the order sew it on your tie
We couldn?t follow couldn?t try
