They can take your money
They can take your car
They can take your house, darlin’
No matter who you are
Cause ain’t nothin’…Nothin’ lasts forever

They can take your booze
They can take your dope
They can crush your dreams
They can take your hope
Oh my darlin’…Hell is just a bonfire Of broken dreams

Refrain:
What’s the one thing that they can’t take
The only bone they can’t break
A friend when you’re alone
It’s a truth you’ve always known
You can’t hold it in your hands
But you can hold it in your heart

 The world is dyin’
Of disease without a cure
And people wonder why we feel
So damned  insecure
Cause ain’t nothin’…Nothin’ lasts forever

 They can take your lover
They can take your wife
They can teach you rote religion
Don’t let ‘em teach you how to live your life
Oh, my darlin’…Hell is just a bonfire…Of broken dreams
