Ian Brown › Lyrics › Keep What Ya Got

Yesterday came suddenly
Tomorrow will receive
Today now you're at the wheel
I'll ask how does it feel
Yesterday when Heaven's gates
I contemplate, they seem so far
Today they ain't so far away
And almost seem a drag

Keep what ya got, by givin' it all away
Keep what ya got, by givin' it all away
Keep what ya got, hold it, don't stop
Keep what ya got, by givin' it all away

When your halo slips for good
You'll have to wear your hood
Good to feel the breeze of fear
On all the cynics, I'm your mimick
All you losers, all abusers
Wasting all my precious energy

Keep what ya got, by givin' it all away
Keep what ya got, by givin' it all away
Keep what ya got, hold it, don't stop
Keep what ya got, by givin' it all away

Remember where you came from
Sisters who told ya on a rainy day
They said that Heaven holds a place
For all of those who prey
And if you don't believe in agony
Then you don't care anyway
Nobody or nothings ever gettin' in your way

Even as you played along
But don't feel you belong
No one's gonna notice if you never right or wrong
And if you and your next neighbor
Yeah, you don't quite get along
No one's gonna notice if you're singing anyway
Those not coming in for free will learn they gotta pay
