You only get what you give away You'll only get it if you give it away (repeat) You only get what you give away, so throw your hate away
The Greeks have got him With their tales of lust and myths of grief Lights from the big wheel Casts shadows that dance around the fair Time for consulting, whilst carouselling The quiet before the storm Now he's in trouble, we've all had trouble But learned to keep it shut
Chorus You only get what you give away You'll only get it if you give it away You only get what you give away, so throw your hate away
The Greeks have got him Now he's solemn and beat up pretty bad Just like his brother He will wear leather to thicken up his skin He can't see colours, or hear like others And has fallen into sin Now it's all laughed at, the stage is past that And filled with you and me
Chorus You only get what you give away You'll only get it if you give it away You only get what you give away, so throw your hate away
