Million Dollars

Pictures in the local zoo
ready for the interview
painted face in different colours
dreaming of a million dollars
The dreams are torn
the game is over for you
all things have changed
but what comes next?
All illusions
have disappeared
but we have to live on
for another forty years
Left alone
on your own
do you fear my dear…
who’s going to work for you
for the rest of your life
Imagine what you’ve done for us
and what you get instead
spend the days with good-time girls
and you talking all our bread
The dreams are torn
the game is over for you
all things have changed
but what comes next?
All illusions
have disappeared
but we have to live on
for another forty years
Left alone
on your own
do you fear my dear…
who’s going to work for you
for the rest of your life
(say goodnight.)
