I was told by my Grandma |
|
Many years ago, I was just a child |
|
"Boy, go and grow as an honest man |
|
Look on what you've done with pride!" |
|
The years have passed and I'm a normal lad |
|
I won't be named in school treatises |
|
But looking back to what I've done |
|
Yes, there's a glimpse of pride! |
|
The loser's ball |
|
(Dance with me to the sound of the fiddle) |
|
For the ones who fall |
|
(Like a cloudless sky reflected in a billow) |
|
Learn a new step for each new Babylon |
|
(Build the city of lies and despair) |
|
If you have time send a message |
|
To every form of human life |
|
"Hey out there if someone listens |
|
This way we won't survive!" |
|
We'll be drawn in arrogance |
|
Hanged by the noose of greed |
|
A new religion of violence |
|
A bible of bad deeds |
|
The loser's ball |
|
(Dance with me to the sound of the fiddle) |
|
For the ones who fall |
|
(Like a cloudless sky reflected in a billow) |
|
Learn a new step for each new Babylon |
|
(Build the city of lies lust despair) |
