Todd Rundgren - Maybe Im Better Off текст песни

Maybe Im better off

If I never leave this cell

Maybe Ive lived enough

In a world as free as hell (just as free as hell)

Where you keep on thinking

While its stinking

You enjoy the smell

And you lick the bowl as well

Loves out there

They tell you

They sell you anything to make you happy

Then it all just turns to crap

So maybe Im better off

Than I was when I was young

Now that I know the cost

When you try to love someone

Guess Im better off

In jail at thirty-one

What about all my friends?

Now I wont have to watch them die

And every time they sell out

I wont be there to question why

They can get so high

On the butts theyre kissing

While theyre pissing

way each others lives

As they shag each others wives

No shopping, co-oping

None of the grand design to sooth the masses

til its time to pay your taxes

Maybe Im better off

Than I was in days gone by

Now that I know the cost

When you set your sights too high

Yes Im better off

Its jailbreak time for ian

Maybe Im better off

Now that Ive kissed her off

Now that theyve whisked me off to the slammer and

Maybe Im better off

Now that shes pissed me off

Now that my fist takes on a new glamour and

Maybe my minds run off

Maybe Ive just gone off my head

Maybe Ive just gone round the bend

Maybe Im in my own little world

Its jailbreak time for ian

Praise the lord, its jailbreak time for ian

What the hell took you so long?

Life hands you new chances

Uncertain circumstances

Set you back

But then you win the lotto jackpot

Every time you give up (every time you give up)

Then you give up being young

Everything has a cost

Thats the way this world is run

Maybe Im better off

Now Im free and thirty-one

Im free, male, and thirty-one
