I saw a man on the street he was lookin' for money his hand was open wide
And if he only knew what he really needs he needs a brand new life
I saw a couple walkin' hand in hand their noses stuck up in the air
They were livin' the good life, plenty of money and they didn't have a care

But baby have I got some news for you
You ain't gonna buy nothin' you can't lose
So throw it all away, and take a step back
There's so much waiting for you of what you lack

I saw the same man again yesterday with desperation in his eyes,
And if he only knew what he really needs, he needs a brand new life
If I could only be the one to tell him what he needs to know
If I could only be the man with seeds to sow

I said baby have I got some news for you
You ain't gonna buy nothin' you can't lose
So throw it all away, and take a step back
There's so much waiting for you of what you lack

Now I know the world has got you down
And I know you've got no one around

And still I'm saying baby have I got some news for you
You ain't gonna buy nothin' you can't lose
So throw it all away, and take a step back
There's so much waiting for you of what you lack
