Citizen Cain Lyrics - Tom Cochrane & Red Rider - Tom Cochrane

You can lead a horse to water 

But you cannot make him drink 

You can own a man's whole work for life 

But you cannot make him think what you want 

You can tell them all a thousand lies 

But you don't own the world 

You can give her everything you want 

But you won't have my girl 

Man you leave it all in pieces 

Let us all come and clean it up 

Love to see your name in the papers 

Like to hang out at your club 

Like to drive around in your silver car 

As if it were a cloud 

Like to call yourself a legend 

But if you were you wouldn't be that proud

CHORUS 

Citizen cain, citizen cain 

Your money don't buy you love 

Citizen cain, citizen cain 

I don't know what you could be thinking of 

Citizen cain, citizen cain 

Don't you think that you have the keys 

You might own all the locks in this whole damn town 

But there ain't no chains on me

You like to do everybody favors 

Then take it all back in spades 

Keep everyone you know under your big bad thumb 

Until they start to fade 

You like to think you're king of the western world 

But he died long ago 

You like to give yourself to charity 

As long as everybody else knows
