Mister Ten Percent - Triumvirat

Hands off, Mister Ten Percent!

We’ve got a gig tonight!

Ha!

Do you think we’re gonna pay your rent?

Working for you 'til the end of our life!

Your stories of success and fame

Have turned the eyes quite wet, yeah!

And striving for a better life…

We filled your money bag!

A big Mercedes

a house on a hill

a week in Sweden

and we’re paying the bill!

We paid your dinner

But not for long,

as we get thinner

taxis, hotels,

so on, and so on…

Hands off, Mister Ten Percent!

We’ve got a gig tonight!

Ha!

Do you think we’re gonna pay your rent?

Working for you 'til the end of our life!

At first you took ten, tomorrow it’s twenty!

The more we give the more you want, ha!

How could you think that you’re still a friend?

It might be fifty in the end!

(instrumental)

v) Lucky Girl

Aren’t you a lucky girl!

living in your tiny world

doing what your mama told you

you will never think about you

Doing what your mama told you

you will never think about yourself

When you came home late from school

your daddy’s acting like a fool

have you dropped your smaller toys

playing in the game?

Have you dropped your smaller toys

playing in the game

with all those bigger boys?

We came into town

on a hot summer night

when I caught your eye

Dressed like a queen

prettiest picture I’ve seen

on our lonesome ride

Don’t you think

I still long coming down

making love to you?

When we ride on tomorrow

I know I’ll find someone new

so look what you do!

Weren’t you a lucky girl?

never tried to fake your world

doing what your mama told you

you will never think about yourself

About yourself…

vi) Million Dollars

Pictures in the local zoo

ready for the interview

painted face in different colours

dreaming of a million dollars

The dreams are torn

the game is over for you

all things have changed

but what comes next?

All illusions

have disappeared

but we have to live on

for another forty years

Left alone

on your own

do you fear my dear…

who’s going to work for you

for the rest of your life

Imagine what you’ve done for us

and what you get instead

spend the days with good-time girls

and you talking all our bread

The dreams are torn

the game is over for you

all things have changed

but what comes next?

All illusions

have disappeared

but we have to live on

for another forty years

Left alone

on your own

do you fear my dear…

who’s going to work for you

for the rest of your life

(Say goodnight…)
