Give It All Away by World Party Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't ask me who I am, 'cos maybe I don't know
Just someone with half a brain and nagging doubts won't go
But it seems to me you're killing all the things you love the most
All the way down to the coast
[Chorus]
I don't want to see you, ooh
Give it all away
Don't give it all away, ooh, don't give it all away, ooh
[Post-Chorus]
That's what we're talking 'bout, that's what we're talking 'bout
It ain't here to stay, yeah
That's what we're talking 'bout, that's what we're talking 'bout
Let go
[Verse 2]
Read the morning papers, seems like nothing turns out right
Take a deep breath, yeah, it knocks out your lights
Hypocrites and zealots are struggling for the throne
Kings and queens and presidents, younger than the stones, ohh
[Chorus]
Give them all away, ohh
Give them all away
Just give them all away
[Post-Chorus]
That's what we're talking 'bout, that's what we're talking 'bout
That's what we're talking 'bout, that's what we're talking 'bout
Let go
That's what we're talking 'bout, that's what we're talking 'bout
That's what we're talking 'bout, that's what we're talking 'bout
Let go
[Bridge]
Here's a list of things that one day you won't know you've missed
Naked in the river, watching planets as they kiss
Surfers in the sunlight, dances on the sea
Nothin' on your mind, spirit so free
[Chorus]
I just don't want to see you, ooh, give it all away
I don't want to see you, ooh, give it all away
'Cos it ain't here to stay and you can't take it anyway
[Post-Chorus]
That's what we're talking 'bout, that's what we're talking 'bout
That's what we're talking 'bout, that's what we're talking 'bout
Let go
[Verse 3]
Cake it and eat it, that's what you want
And right now!
But that slice is going to kill you
And it's time that you found out
[Chorus]
Just don't want to see you, ooh, give it all away
Don't want to see you, ooh, give it all away
I don't want to see you, ohh brother, give it all away
'Cos you ain't here to stay and you can't take it anyway
[Post-Chorus]
That's what we're talking 'bout, that's what we're talking 'bout
Don't ask me who I am, 'cos maybe I don't know
Just someone with half a brain and nagging doubts won't go
But it seems to me you're killing all the things you love the most
All the way down to the coast
[Chorus]
I don't want to see you, ooh
Give it all away
Don't give it all away, ooh, don't give it all away, ooh
[Post-Chorus]
That's what we're talking 'bout, that's what we're talking 'bout
It ain't here to stay, yeah
That's what we're talking 'bout, that's what we're talking 'bout
Let go
[Verse 2]
Read the morning papers, seems like nothing turns out right
Take a deep breath, yeah, it knocks out your lights
Hypocrites and zealots are struggling for the throne
Kings and queens and presidents, younger than the stones, ohh
[Chorus]
Give them all away, ohh
Give them all away
Just give them all away
[Post-Chorus]
That's what we're talking 'bout, that's what we're talking 'bout
That's what we're talking 'bout, that's what we're talking 'bout
Let go
That's what we're talking 'bout, that's what we're talking 'bout
That's what we're talking 'bout, that's what we're talking 'bout
Let go
