Mick Brady: Lyrics

You come into the world with nothing

You’ll have nothing when you leave

You can’t take anything with you

That’s just the deal

You're handed a bunch of beliefs and ideas

A whole lot of rules you're supposed to obey

Holy Books and the Wisdom Of Ages

All gonna tell you “This Is The Way”

Doesn't work any more for me

It just doesn't work for me

Great big world all around us

It's got everything that I need

Soak it all up, buy into the story

Play your part, say what you have to say

Find someone like you to travel life's journey

When you have your own children, show them The Way

Preachers and teachers all gonna tell you

Stories that they really believe

Answers to all the difficult questions

Beautiful visions, beautiful dreams
