There is a son, he is born |
|
With a silver spoon in his mouth |
|
Go on, boy, admit |
|
There's got to be something you love |
|
Enough to protect |
|
You tire of things, |
|
I knowBut you've got to push on |
|
On, on, on, on, on, on, on |
|
Some men crave women |
|
And some men crave gold |
|
Some folks die too young |
|
And some die too old |
|
Some just want to pass time |
|
With liquor and cards |
|
Some work to the top |
|
And then some don't get far |
|
Boy, decide, boy, decide |
|
You're too old to fuck around |
|
And too young to die |
|
Time to try life on for size |
|
Now the time has come |
|
To pull yourself out of the mud |
|
And fix yourself up |
|
Hell, don't you care how you look? |
|
Your mother, god rest her |
|
She'd spin in her grave |
|
If she knew |
|
What a mess you have made |
|
Well, some men crave women |
|
And some men crave gold |
|
Some folks die too young |
|
And some die too old |
|
Some just want to pass time |
|
With liquor and cards |
|
Some work to the top |
|
And then some don't get far |
|
Boy, decide, boy, decide |
|
You're too old to fuck around |
|
And too young to die |
|
Time to try life on for size |
|
You're pissing into the wind |
|
Squandering the life you were given |
|
Now what will you do?' |
|
Cause you wasted, a waste of a life |
|
Diggin' a hole you can't dive in |
|
To, when you get tired, ohh, fire |
