When I was young, when I was a boy I tried to have fun Then the world was cruel to me and now I've become A lowly beggar sitting in the sun. Look at my life, learn from my mistakes and find a good wife Someone who will love you till the day that you die A girl who sings the sweetest lullabies Penniless now, sleeping underneath a bridge across town If I gained an ounce of luck I'd lose it somehow My hope is dead my dreams are in the ground This is the end, dying on my own without any friends Not even and enemy to make my amends, Given the chance I'd do it all again
