I'VE GOT MINEGlenn Frey, Jack TempchinSomeone's sleeping on the sidewalk As the winter sun goes down Someone's drinking cold champagne In another part of town And the only thing he thinks about As he sips his glass of wine It sure feels good sitting here tonight Now that I've got mine I've got mine, I've got mine This isn't such a bitter world 'Cause I've got mine Someone's wandering the streets tonight No way to warm his hands Someone's turning up their fireplace Making travel plans His mind is on some sandy beach Where the sun is gonna shine He thinks "I don't have to hang around Now that I've got mine." You see them in their limousines You see the way they stare They don't see us looking back Because they don't really care (they say) I've got mine, I've got mine The world is as it's meant to be 'Cause I've got mine So I make a small donation What more can I do You know I didn't make this world I'm in it just like you I've worked all my life on this house of cards To keep it all in line I can't take care of everyone Now that I've got mine There's another kind of poverty That only rich men know A moral malnutrition That starves their very souls And they can't be saved with money They're all running out of time And all the while they're thinking, "It's okay, 'cause I've got mine." I've got mine, I've got mine I don't want a thing to change 'Cause I've got mine, I've got mine . . . |
