|
| That my ears they popped
|

|
| By all the wrongs you do
|
| — That if you can’t be good — Be careful!
|
| To achieve your happiness
|
| On this terrestial ball.
|
| Gotta have a clean conscience
|
| But even better: None at all!
|
| But if you can’t be good — Be careful yeah!
|
| It’s when a pat on the back becomes a slap in your face now.
|
| Don’t look back just helpyourselfish
|
| And when your friends begin to loose their way.
|
| Don’t look back just helpyourselfish.

| Through the revolving door on someone elses push
|

|
| In between those who’ve got it made
|
