Fool's Gold ( Ouro de Tolo )
I should now be feeling happy
Since I have a fine new job
An' wife an' family
I'm the model man who's made it,
Every month a thousand bucks!
I should thank the lord I have it,
And my success as an artist,
Should be proud I've got a chevy
I'm the kind of guy that lucks!
So, I should now be glad as glad
With my brand new home in the best quarter
After starving for two years
In this whore of whores of towns!
Should be proud of being socially
Respected and even feared,
But I think this kind of success
Is for circuses and for clowns
Yes, I should be vain and proud
To have won my place in life,
But I must vow I'm dazed
and just don't know where I am at
Because it was so ' easy pickings'
So I ask myself, and now?
I have so many worlds to conquer
And I know I cannot be even satisfied with that!
I should be happy God has granted me
The sundays that I wanted
With my family to play the father
To play the husband and display!
But a monumental bore
You will find I am and more
Don't you feel I'm happy and easy
At the end of every day
Stand against a looking glass
And see yourself... what an ass
God and devil took to mass
On ten percent use of your brain!
You are a doctor of philosophy,
Priest or copper, what a topper,
Don't you wish you could grow young
And start it all again!
You don't find me glady sitting
On a throne made of my savings
In my heavily-mortgaged home
Waiting for my coming death!
Yeah, for wonders gravitating
I'm awaiting, yes, I'm awaiting
At my neighbor's fence
Hoping and lookin' across the heath
The End
