Soon Forget
Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a corvette...
Thinks he'll get the girl, he'll only get the mechanic..
What's missing...? He's living a day he'll soon forget...
That's one more time around... the sun is going down...
The moon is out, but he's drunk and shouting...
Putting people down... He's pissing... He's living...
A day he'll soon forget...
Counts his money every morning...
The only thing that keeps him horny...
Locked in a giant house, that's alarming...
The townsfolk, they all laugh...
Sorry is the fool who trades his love for hi-rise rent...
Seems the more you make equals the loneliness you get...
And it's fitting... He's barely living... A day he'll soon forget...
That's one more time around... And there is not a sound...
He's lying dead, clutching Benjamins... Never put the money down...
He's stiffening, We're all whistling...
A man we'll soon forget...
