The Final Change To Worthless Living
I've thought long and hard,
it's time for the final change to worthless living;
I'll leave the stress and the hurdles
at home and flee from grieving,
throwing out ideas that are profane and unsound!
My luck depended on the right card...
I was scarred by an invisible sword
being deceived by clever liars,
suddenly letting down the guard!
It's time for the final change to living,
I'm bored, I'm broken going nowhere;
girls want money, jewels, and a good time,
they've drained my credit card in one single night!
I'm walking with empty pockets, except for a dime;
it can't even buy me coffee or beer, am I that smart?
Streets are empty, lights are dim, I turn into a hare...
running faster, trying to get somewhere!
Dressing up, I sprained my both arms,
I was rushing to meet frizzy-haired Sinead,
she had a long affair with crazy Fred;
what comes out of her big mouth is not clean,
foul words make her a proud and elite queen:
I am her puppet, she has many charms!
It's time for the final change to worthless living,
I turn around and start from the beginning;
ah, lust is the worst habit of weak men,
rich guys smile, while poor guys cry;
being humble is not asking anyone for anything,
trusting anybody is a terrible thing to admit!
You learn by living, but merely getting by:
is a meager wish that won't ever benefit!
I hop on the next train breathing hard,
and sitting down I find relief, then a sex pot
stands in front of me, I give up my seat,
" Thank you, sweety. " I look up and smile,
forgetting I'm not a millionaire who just won the jackpot,
I asked her for a date, she looked at me saying,
" It will cost you, I am an elite lady of the night:
is your answer yes or no? " I scratched my head frowning,
" I got robbed before by the same kind, I learned a lot..."
" You are a chauvinist pig talking to me that way, I am a cop! "
