Someone's sitting on the sidewalk, As the winter sun goes down
Someone's drinking cold champagne, In another part of town
And the only thing he thinks about, As he sips his glass of wine
"It sure feels good sitting here tonight, Now that I've got mine"
I've got mine, I've got mine
This isn't such a bitter world, Cause I've got mine
verse 2
Someone's wandering the streets tonight, No way to warm his hands
Someone's turning up their fireplace, Making travel plans
His mind is on some sandy beach, Where the sun is gonna shine
He thinks, "I don't have to hang around, Now that I've got mine"
Bridge
You see them in their limousines, You see the way they stare
But they don't see us looking back, Because they don't really care
They say, "I've got mine, I've got mine
The world is as it's meant to be, Cause I've got mine"
verse 3
So I make a small donation, What more can I do?
You know I didn't make this world, I'm in it just like you
I've worked all my life on this house of cards, To keep it all in line
I can't take care of everyone, Now that I've got mine
There's another kind of poverty, That only rich men know
A moral malnutrition, That starves their very souls
And they can't be saved by money, They're all running out of time
And all the while they're thinking, "It's okay, cause I've got mine"
I've got mine, I've got mine
I don't want a thing to change, Cause I've got mine
I've got mine, I've got mine
