IF I GIVE UP THE SEAT
I'VE BEEN SAVING
TO SOME ELDERLY LADY OR MAN
AM I BEING A GOOD BOY
AM I YOUR PRIDE AND JOY
MOTHER, PLEASE
IF YOU'RE PLEASED, SAY I AM
AND IF WHILE
IN THE COURSE OF MY DUTY
I PERFORM
AN UNFORTUNATE TAKE
WOULD YOU PUNISH ME SO
UNBELIEVABLY SO
NEVER AGAIN
WILL I MAKE THAT MISTAKE
THIS FEELING INSIDE ME
COULD NEVER DENY ME
THE RIGHT TO BE WRONG
IF I CHOOSE
AND THIS PLEASURE I GET
FROM SAY, WINNING A BET
IS TO LOSE
WHEN I'M DRINKING
MY BONAPARTE SHANDY
EATING MORE THAN ENOUGH
APPLE PIES
WILL I GLANCE AT MY SCREEN
AND SEE REAL HUMAN BEINGS
STARVE TO DEATH
RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES
NOTHING OLD, NOTHING NEW
NOTHING VENTURED
NOTHING GAINED
NOTHING STILL-BORN OR LOST
NOTHING FURTHER THAN PROOF
NOTHING WILDER THAN YOUTH
NOTHING OLDER THAN TIME
NOTHING SWEETER THAN WINE
NOTHING PHYSICALLY
RECKLESSLY HOPELESSLY BLIND
NOTHING I COULDN'T SAY
NOTHING, WHY
'CAUSE TODAY NOTHING RHYMED
OH... OH... OH, OH...
MMM...
THIS FEELING INSIDE ME
COULD NEVER DENY ME
THE RIGHT TO BE WRONG
IF I CHOOSE
AND THIS PLEASURE I GET
FROM SAY, WINNING A BET
IS TO LOSE
NOTHING GOOD, NOTHING BAD
NOTHING VENTURED
NOTHING GAINED
NOTHING STILL-BORN OR LOST
NOTHING FURTHER THAN PROOF
NOTHING WILDER THAN YOUTH
NOTHING OLDER THAN TIME
NOTHING SWEETER THAN WINE
NOTHING PHYSICALLY
RECKLESSLY HOPELESSLY BLIND
NOTHING I COULDN'T SAY
NOTHING, WHY
'CAUSE TODAY NOTHING RHYMED
