Don't Depend on Me (Video Mix) Lyrics

Take my money, spare my life

Even though it's not worth so much

With no family and no wife

Gonna hang on to what I got

Even though it might make me angry

I can surely ignore a whole lot

And I keep my head down

And I keep my nose clean

And I'm on the right side of history

Don't depend on me

To see the things you see

You're so much stronger

Than I'll ever be

So don't depend on me

To make the change you seek

I know the good you do

I'm so proud of you

You say I'm lucky, even blessed

But hey I think that's enough about me

We should focus on this mess

I hear that silence is complicit

But you're so much smarter than me

Please speak up and tell us, is it?

While I keep my head down

While I keep my nose clean

While I stay on the right side of history

Don't depend on me

To see the things you see

You're so much stronger

Than I'll ever be

So don't depend on me

To make the change you seek

I know the good you do

I'm so proud of you

Take my money, spare my life

Spare me having to reflect on this

Here's some alms, here's a tithe

Please don't think me a thoughtless jerk

Spent some time feeling real darn bad

Trust me, I did the work

So you see my head down

So you see my nose clean

So you see me on the right side of history

Don't depend on me

To see the things you see

You're so much stronger

Than I'll ever be

So don't depend on me

To make the change you seek

I know the good you do

I'm so proud of you
