Song Lyrics

Oh my mama told me
`Cause she say she learned the hard way
She say she wanna spare the children
She say don`t give or sell your soul away
`Cause all that you have is your soul

So don`t be tempted by the shiny apple
Don`t you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
`Cause all that you have is your soul

Well I was a pretty young girl once
I had dreams I had high hopes
I married a man he stole my heart away
He gave his love but what a high price I paid
All that you have is your soul

So don`t be tempted by the shiny apple
Don`t you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
`Cause all that you have is your soul

Why was I such a young fool
Thought I`d make history
Making babies was the best I could do
Thought I`d made something that could be mine forever
Found out the hard way one can`t possess another
And all that you have is your soul

So don`t be tempted by the shiny apple
Don`t you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
`Cause all that you have is your soul

I thought, thought that I could find a way
To beat the system
To make a deal and have no debts to pay
I`d take it all, I'd take it all, I`d run away
Me for myself first class and first rate
But all that you have is your soul

So don`t be tempted by the shiny apple
Don`t you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
`Cause all that you have is your soul

Here I am, I`m waiting for a better day
A second chance
A little luck to come my way
A hope to dream, a hope that I can sleep again
And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands
`Cause all that you have is your soul

So don`t be tempted by the shiny apple
Don`t you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
`Cause all that you have is your soul

Oh my mama told me
`Cause she say she learned the hard way
She say she wanna spare the children
She say don`t give or sell your soul away
`Cause all that you have is your soul

All that you have
All that you have
All that you have
Is your soul
