The Fleecing of America

If I held a petal from a flower Would you take it from me If I tasted teardrops sweet and sour Would you take it from me And if I had one last request Would you take it from me And if I pulled my heart out from my chest Would you take it from me Because I'd take it from you I'd take it I'd take it from you And if I die alone tomorrow Would you pray for me And if I cry out in sorrow Would you feel for me kneel for me Because I'd take it from you If I spill a cup of my blood Would you take it from me If I held the rope that pulls me from the flood Would you take it from me Because I'd take it from you If I wore the crown of king desire Would you take it from me If I found the truth inside the liar Would you take it from me If I held God's last drop of water Would you take it from me If I kissed the hand of mother earth's daughter Would you take it from me Because I'd take it from you
