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

What If We Give It Away?

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?
