Diamonds on the inside ~ Ben Harper
I knew a girl, her name was Truth
she was a horrible liar
she couldn't spend one day alone
and she will never be satisfied
when you have everything
you have everything to lose
she made herself a bed of nails
and she's planning on putting it to use
she had diamonds on the inside
she had diamonds on the inside
she had diamonds on the inside
diamonds
a candle throws it light into the darkness
and in a nasty world so shines a good deed
just make sure the fortune that you seek
is the fortune that you really need
tell me why the first to ask
is the last to give every time
what you say and do not mean
follows you close behind
she had diamonds on the inside
like a soldier alone under fire
any change comes as a relief
let the givers name remain unspoken
she is just a generous thief
she had diamonds on the inside
