Mother Earth - Dave Alvin

Well may play the race horses

You may own the whole race track

You may have all the money to buy anything you like

But I don’t care how big you are

And I don’t care what you’re worth

See when it all comes down

You got to go back to mother earth

You may own half the city

You may wear diamonds and pearls

You may have a jet plane

And fly it all around the world

But I don’t care how big you are

And I don’t care what you’re worth

See when it all comes down

You got to go back to mother earth

Now you may have some great army at your command

You may have some politician eat out of your hand

You may have some servants who do anything you say

Mother earth is waiting

That’s a debt you gotta pay

I don’t care how big you are

And I don’t care what you’re worth

Man when it all comes down

You got to go back to mother earth

I don’t care how big you are

It don’t matter what you’re worth

Man when it all comes down

You got to go back to mother earth

When it all comes down

You got to go back to mother earth
