DON HENLEY - Who Owns This Place? lyrics

rate me

You know there ain't no end to man's desire

To steal your water, steal your fire

Snakes in the garden, apples on the tree

All of this looks easy, none of this is free

You might get lucky, got the world to win

Need a little failure to thicken your skin

Everybody's talkin', they promise you the moon

It's made of paper and you find out pretty soon

Who owns this place?

Who owns this place?

I'm talkin' to you, now look in my face

And tell me who owns this place?

But time pa*ses, things change

You might get restless, I might get strange

But everything you do says always

Who owns this place?

Monkey see, monkey do

You're watchin' him and he's watchin' you

You think he's funny, he think you're funny too

You'd get in there with him if you only knew

Who owns this place?

Who owns this place?

What makes you think that you're a special case?

Who owns this place?

Time pa*ses, things change

Shut down the city, fence off the range

Make everything into a fancy place

Who owns this place?

Push, pull, push, pull, push, pull

Push, pull, push, pull, push, pull

You always take, you never give

So busy runnin' you've forgotten where you live

A million miles, a million malls

Pretty soon you'll be bouncin' off the walls

Screamin', "Who owns this place?

Who owns this place?"

Too much ambition, too little grace

Who owns this place?"
