You may holler at me all the time
You may never go my way
Mother Earth is life for you
'Coz there's a debt you got to pay

Don't care how great you are
Don't care what you were
When it all ends up
You got to go back to Mother Earth

You may own half a city
Even diamonds and pearls
You may buy an aeroplane
And fly all over this world

I don't care how great you are
Don't care what you were
When it all ends up
You got to go back to Mother Earth

You may play the race horses
You may own a horse track
You may have enough money
To buy anything you like

Don't care how great you are
I don't care what you were
When it all ends up
You got to go back to Mother Earth
