You may high hat me all the time
You may never go my way
Mother Earth is waiting for you
'Cause there's a debt you've got to pay
Don't care how great you are
Don't care what you're worth
When it all ends up
You've got to go back to Mother Earth
You may play the racehorses
You may own a racetrack
Have enough money, baby
To buy anything you like
Don't care how great you are
And I don't care what you're worth
When it all ends up
You've got to go back to Mother Earth
You may own half a city
May have diamonds and pearls
May have your own airplane, baby
And fly all over this world
But I don't carе how great you are
Don't care what you'rе worth
When it all ends up
You've got to go back to Mother Earth
