A man living life here, Who bought into a plan Who one day will look back over all of this And see me as I am I talk like I know what I'm saying, I walk like I know where I am going, I pretend that I know who I am And I'll live like that until the end. The path that I follow, The way I live life It can down from before I can remember, And that makes it right He look out over ancient river He looked down at his feet in the stream He think over everything that happened Every war, every hunger, ever dream How animals looks just like each other How we think we are different I imagine I can be fooled I imagine it's easy to do How many minds for how many years Thinking, that nothing really matters here, So why don't I have a little fun before I die I'll get these fools to do my bidding I lie and cheat my way to the top of some dominion Lie back on a boat in the Mediterranean Chocked full of pretty woman Wouldn't that entertain me until I go And the whole ship fall down some years afterward When I don't matter Or live fondly in someone else's memory That means nothing to me That means nothing to me That means nothing to me That means nothing to me
