Well you said your faith in life wasn't giving you everything So why do you want to play with guns Why do you want to do all those kind of foolish things Well I know you always said You never knew your daddy's name And I guess you tld me so a million times I heard you say I never was the one to blame How well I remember it was back in '69 You was always running around with nothing to lose Eating too many blues trying to stay alive When everything we thought was true Was true enough for me and you Oh Mario, when no-one else would see you through Oh Mario Your faith in life is everything Put away your guns with your childish dreams Oh Mario With your painted wife and your priest that sings Waiting for your songs Give them silver rings and precious stones Everything you thought was true Was only down to me and you No-one else would see you through Mario, what else could I do? Oh Mario
