Now your standards change with poverty Certain things become luxuries So drive yourself down to the pawn shop There's nothing to cry about There are thousands of guitars All over the world So shake off that sorrow, shame and self-pity Your '69 SG was never a necessity The Beatles and Stones and Raspberries Will always be there to remind you of what will always be Thousands of guitars all over the world Millions, even All over the world Stop holding on The rest have all been sold Give her a kiss goodbye Then just let her go Don't you know that they never really die There's no graveyard or heaven in the sky There'll be one for you when you can They're everywhere They just change hands Thousands of guitars Hold on to your soul Never give it away And you'll always be all right
