To Leave Something Behind

I cannot say that I know you well
 But you can't lie to me with all these books that you sell
 I'm not trying to follow you to the end of the world
 I'm just trying to leave something behind
 Words have come from men and mouse
 Oh, but I can't help thinking that I have heard the wrong crowd
 When all the water is gone my job will be too
 So I'm trying to leave something behind
 Oh, money is free but love costs more than our bread
 And the ceiling is hard to reach
 Oh, the future ahead is broken and red
 And I'm trying to leave something behind
 This whole world is a foreign land
 We swallow the moon, but we do not know our own hand
 Oh, we're running with the case, but we ain't got the gold
 Yet we're trying to leave something behind
 My friends, I belive we are at the wrong fight
 And I can not read what I did not write
 I've been to his house, but the master is gone
 Yet we're trying to leave something behind
 Now there is a beast who has taken my brain
 You can put me to bed, but you can't feel my pain
 When the machine has taken the soul from the man
 It's time to leave something behind
 Oh, money is free but love costs more than our bread
 And the ceiling is hard to reach
 Oh, the future ahead is already dead
 And it's time to leave something behind
 Now, I've got this feeling that I'm still at the shore
 And pockets don't know what it means to be poor
 I can get through the wall if you give me a door
 So I can leave something behind
 Oh, wisdom is lost in the trees somewhere
 Oh, you're not gonna find it in some mental gray hair
 It's locked up from those who hurry ahead
 And it's time to leave something behind
 Oh, money is free but love costs more than our bread
 And the ceiling is hard to reach
 When my son is a man, he will know what I meant
 When I was just trying to leave something behind
 And I'm trying to leave something behind
