This song is incredibly cheesy and I did not the write the lyrics. A friend did. But dammit, I like the song!
I had her
for a day
for a moment and nothing more
when I let
her know
she’s the one I was searching for
if i said I loved you
that would be a lie
i only really love myself
i don’t want to make you cry
i never really cry that much
i don’t allow myself to feel
but you can keep pretending what we had was real
all that I am good for is a one night stand
we’ll spend the night together
I’ll never talk to you again
I don’t want to raise your children
I don’t want to hold your hand
all that I am good for is a one night stand
We had such a good conversation
then you told me about a new friend you made
He was better than all the others
even though he was half your age
You explained why you were leaving me
You didn’t love me anymore
I was growing weak in my old age
You loved the boy I was before
In the bamboo forest
beat your battle drum
Wear a mask on the back of your head
and let the tiger come
A boy under the influence of a girl who does not care
She’ll bring you down, she’ll make you weep
She’ll bring you down, she’ll make you weep
lost in the search for a reason
running for years out of mind
in fear since the day I found you
losing all hope over time
your love makes me want to die
your love makes me want to die
your love makes me want to die
your love makes me want to die
I am awake by 6 in the morning
I pick up my keys and fall into the car
I hit the road, I can’t help thinking
nothing to drink and no stops in the bars
I go to work, it’s the same thing each day
Boss signs the checks for us, he’s got all the power
We are like slaves, I can’t help thinking,
wasting our lives for dollars, hour by hour
I get out of work a 8 in the evening
jostle my keys and drag my soul to the car
I tear down the road, I can’t stop thinking
nothing to drink and no stops in the bars
nothing to drink and no stops in the bars
nothing to drink and no stops in the bars
it’s only human nature
we compete for everything
don’t hate me for what I say
don’t hear the words I sing
hammer on the small man
it’s his fault for being small
hammer on the small man
hammer on the small
I feel so happy when I get the letter
premium’s up fourteen percent
again
well, that’s great but I run my own business
how am I supposed to pay
god damn I hate my health insurance
the reason most people have jobs
betting on sickness or injury and trouble
either way I always lose
my health insurance
my health insurance
lord come and take me now
i don’t want to live, so take me out
i’m suffering, without a sound
imprisoned in this tiny room
i used to be an accountant
stuck in an office job
i found a new vocation
in the agua negra
wetsuit is my protection
hopefully it’s enough
somebody has to clear the drains
i know it’s dangerous
and if a hole appears
i won’t regret the years
keeping the sewers clear
so people can live better
