âDrop dead, it doesnât matter,â she saidâIt only hurts when I laugh,â she saidâSometimes itâs never a crimeâTo spend the day in bedâShe made certain that the curtains were redTo drape better by the light they would shedShe leaned back, tilted her headAnd this is what she saidâ¦âYou canât win; think it over againâI canât win; look at the trouble Iâm inâWe canât win and weâre stuck here togetherâYeah, I hope it will last forever.ââDonât ever dare to hope,â he saidâSo Iâm never let down too badâI know thereâs nowhere to goâSo Iâll just stay here, insteadâHe knew better than to pull at a threadThey unravel like the thoughts in his headHe looked out; it filled him with dreadAnd this is what he saidâ¦[Chorus]With good looks and books on their sideAnd hearts bursting with national prideThey sand songs that went along for the rideAnd the other side compliedThey said, âHey, man, where do you reside?âAnd could it be motherâs superior lied?âAnd is it possible too many have died?âItâs only natural to reply[Chorus]
