Ben Harper Don T Take That Attitude To Your Grave lyrics

You say : `What`s mine is mine and what`s yours is mine too!`
Now you`ve got more than you can spend, but all of the money in the whole wide world is not gonna help you in the end.

Now, while there`s still time to be saved, don`t take that attitude to your grave.
Might be too late for you, I`m afraid.
So, don`t take that attitude to your grave.
Don`t you take it there?

I hear helicopters over my house every day.
Shining their lights and flying low, treat a child like a criminal from the day that he is born.
You`re gonna reap just what you sow.

Now while there`s still time to be saved, don`t take that attitude to your grave
Might be too late for you I`m afraid.
So, don`t take that attitude to your grave.
Don`t you take it there?

So you can move your court case, way across town.
You can move it across the whole wide globe but it ain`t gonna help your court case, up in the sky, when you go to put on your white robe.

Now while there`s still time to be saved, don`t take that attitude to your grave
Might be too late for you I`m afraid.
So, don`t take that attitude to your grave.
Don`t you take it there?

You dare the children to stay off of drugs, now I dare you to stop letting them in.
And how dare you point your finger at a gang out on the street while it`s you who is committing the sin.

Now while there`s still time to be saved, don`t take that attitude to your grave
Might be too late for you I`m afraid.
So, don`t take that attitude to your grave.
Don`t you take it there?
They don`t want it there.
You know your mother taught you better.
Don`t take that attitude to your grave.
