I've got money in my pocket
                          
I like the color of my hair
                     
I've got a friend who loves me
                           
Got a house, I've got a car
                       
I've got a good mother
                              
and her voice is what keeps me here

        
Feet on ground
         
Heart in hand
       
Facing forward

Be yourself
                        
I,         I've never wanted anything
                                  
No I've, no I've,    I've never wanted anything
           
so bad...       so bad

                         
Cardboard masks of all the people
         
I've been
                              
thrown out with all the rusted, tangled
                          
dented God Damned miseries
                         
You could say I'm hard to hold
           
But if you knew me you'd know
                     
I've got a good father
                                 
And his strength is what makes me cry

        
Feet on ground
         
Heart in hand
       
Facing forward

Be yourself
                        
I,         I've never wanted anything
                                  
No I've, no I've,    I've never wanted anything
           
so bad...       so bad

Feet on ground
