Down to the Core - Kerry Livgren

Well I don’t want your high position

And I don’t need your riches and fame

I got no use for your way of thinkin'

'Cause it only leads to trouble and shame

The way you talk just leaves me empty

The things you say, they leave me cold

It ain’t my place to sit in judgement

But I hate to see you growing so old

Down to the core, where we’re all the same

Down to the core, we need something to believe in

Down to the core, It’s a cryin' shame

You’ll never make it alone

There’s no relief in your possessions

There’s no relief in what you own

And what you reap in the coming future

Don’t you know it’s only what you have sown

Down to the core, it’s an empty hole

Down to the core, and there’s nothin' at the bottom

Down to the core, you’re an empty soul

You’ll never make it alone

There’s no belief in all your wisdom

There’s no insurance in what you know

'Cause what you know is gonna leave you nowhere

When you’re standin' at the end of the road

Down to the core, you need somthin' real

Down to the core, and there’s only one solution

Down to the core, don’t you really feel

You’ll never make it alone
