Verse 1:
  I'm brave but I'm shaking
  I'm near but yet I'm far
  I don't believe in civilization
  But yet I still drive a car
  I'm crippled but I'm walking
  I'm freed yet I'm barred
  I don't believe in hard work
  But still I have a farm
  
  Chorus:
  But look what it all comes down to
  Ain't goona figure it yet
  'Till you have one hand full of ashes
  And the other hand is putting your soul to rest
  
  Verse 2:
  I'm broke but I'm still spending
  I'm poor but I'm kind
  I'm a sinner yet I'm an angel
  I'm leading but I'm behind
  I'm dumb but I'm talking
  I'm seeing yet I'm blind
  I'm dull but I'm still shinning
  I'm alive but I can die
  
  Chorus
  
  Verse 3:
  I ain't hungry but I'm drinking
  I hate liquor but I'm drinking wine
  I'm puzzled to be crowned king
  I'm the law but I do crime
  I'm cool but I'm vicious
  I'm a fool but I'm wise
  I'm a politician but I'm not voting
  I guess this is the end of my line
  
  Verse 4: (Bridge)
  I'm sad but I'm happy
  I'm not gonna loose my mind
  It's late but it's so early
  And I wonder what's the time
