What If We Give It Away? - R.E.M.

On the outside, underneath the wall

All the money couldn’t buy

You’re mistaken, no one’s standing there

For the record, no one tried

Oh, I try to

What if we give it away?

Overlooking with a hollow eye

What’s pretending isn’t right

Eye for order, a hand for what’s in line

Couldn’t follow, couldn’t write

Oh, I try to

What if we give it away?

And our life is fine here

Stitch it on your tie here

Here’s the trailer, Tom, a year has come and gone

We’re not moving, wasn’t right

Take the order, sew it on your tie

We couldn’t follow, couldn’t try

Oh, I try to

What if we give it away?

What if we give it away?
