Don't Depend on Me

Take my money, spare my life
Even though it's not worth so much
With no family and no wife
Gonna hang on to what I got
Even though it might make me angry
I can surely ignore a whole lot

And I keep my head down
And I keep my nose clean
And I'm on the right side of history

Don't depend on me
To see the things you see
You're so much stronger
Than I'll ever be
So don't depend on me
To make the change you seek
I know the good you do
I'm so proud of you

You say I'm lucky, even blessed
But hey I think that's enough about me
We should focus on this mess
I hear that silence is complicit
But you're so much smarter than me
Please speak up and tell us, is it?

While I keep my head down
While I keep my nose clean
While I stay on the right side of history

Don't depend on me
To see the things you see
You're so much stronger
Than I'll ever be
So don't depend on me
To make the change you seek
I know the good you do
I'm so proud of you

Take my money, spare my life
Spare me having to reflect on this
Here's some alms, here's a tithe
Please don't think me a thoughtless jerk
Spent some time feeling real darn bad
Trust me, I did the work

So you see my head down
So you see my nose clean
So you see me on the right side of history

Don't depend on me
To see the things you see
You're so much stronger
Than I'll ever be
So don't depend on me
To make the change you seek
I know the good you do
I'm so proud of you
