I don’t want to be a pauper, can’t afford to be the king
And the longer that I’m living, I realize I don’t know a goddamn thing about life and what it takes to get ahead
All I want from you people, is to remember what I said

Don’t know much about religion and the promises they make
And the longer that I’m living I realize I’m waiting
for my big break in life, I’m just trying to get ahead
All I want from you people, is to remember what I said

How long will you wander this world
empty suitcase in your hand
Searching for a place you can stop and take a stand
Take another drink of wine, everything will be just fine
Don’t put your hope in those false idols
they will carry you away

I’ve got all of these distractions, tearing me apart
And the longer that I’m living I realize I have to
be smart about my life and the voices in my head
All I want from you people, is to remember what I said
