Some time ago it occured to me 
that the only thing that you get for free 
is the smile on her face, when your foot 
goes through the door 

Cause what it is ain't what it seems 
like the promises from magazines 
and you say your plate is empty 
but you never ask for more 

What I know 
I know, just can't save me now 

But bless me father, cause' I'm the One 
I got no sword, I got no gun 
but when the day is said and done 
I believe i'll still be here 

And just because my eyes are down 
don't mean that i can't look around 
watch them smiles turn to frowns, 
the laughs that turn to tears 

What I know 
I know, just can't save me now 

Some folks like to have it all 
I see it in my crystal ball 
and some folks are just bound to fall 
and others born to lose 

So you can build your mansion 
you can build your throne 
but the more you have, the less you own 
and soon your time is come and gone 
and then you'll have to choose 

What i know 
I know, just can't save me now 

Electronic men who supervise 
and the cell talk and the super-size 
has taken me by surprise and 
i'm weary to the bone 

And sometimes all i seem to see 
is the Jukebox of Hypocrisy 
Be not what you claim to be, 
but you claim to be your own 

What I know 
I know, just can't save me now 

You cannot advertise to me 
I know you're lying, can't you see 
Now, if you'll kindly exit my TV 
I'll show you to the door
