I saw a man on the street he was lookin' for money his hand was open wide   And if he only knew what he really needs he needs a brand new life   I saw a couple walkin' hand in hand their noses stuck up in the air   They were livin' the good life, plenty of money and they didn't have a care      But baby have I got some news for you   You ain't gonna buy nothin' you can't lose   So throw it all away, and take a step back   There's so much waiting for you of what you lack      I saw the same man again yesterday with desperation in his eyes,   And if he only knew what he really needs, he needs a brand new life   If I could only be the one to tell him what he needs to know   If I could only be the man with seeds to sow      I said baby have I got some news for you   You ain't gonna buy nothin' you can't lose   So throw it all away, and take a step back   There's so much waiting for you of what you lack      Now I know the world has got you down   And I know you've got no one around      And still I'm saying baby have I got some news for you   You ain't gonna buy nothin' you can't lose   So throw it all away, and take a step back   There's so much waiting for you of what you lack
