He is lovely and handsome as can be
Polite he is a well educated man
He’s never been down
Every Monday he goes to the gym
He is in good shape but as time goes by
He’s wondering why
Isn’t it the same for everyone on this city,
On this planet, in this world ?
He says « everybody should follow me
And if they don’t, they don’t deserve to be happy »
On the Tuesdays he goes to his mother’s
There is no one home and she feels alone
Since father is gone but he does not think about it
Does not think at all
He’s got a job, a new television set,
He payed all his debts, so why
Isn’t it the same for everyone on this city,
On this planet, in this world ?
He says « everybody should follow me
And if they don’t, they don’t deserve to be happy »
He’s a well educated man, he’s a father, he’s a worker
But he still hasn’t found the deep meaning of his life
And that’s why he is so sad, because he thought he’d reached it
So why isn’t it the same for everyone on this city,
On this planet, in this world ?
He says « everybody should follow me
And if they don’t, they don’t deserve to be happy »
