When I'm hosed and they're closing in Maybe only then Really, I'll try to get right with myself But I'll grope down that ladder again 'Til I'm tumbling But really, I just want to slide I want to crash-land While my friend, my a**ociate He's a regal man Bindles and he twists and ties Gives the reckoning Then it's back on the road again With maybe thirteen grand Moralize all you might like I don't believe in it (You've never earned your soul) I know (You've never earned your soul) I know (You've never earned your soul) I know But I'm gonna try Oh I'm a rich young sophisticate I've got girls and friends I'm doing what I really like and getting paid for it There is no key, there's no plan Well I discovered that And truly I don't think you'll find a happier man (You've never earned your soul) I know (You've never earned your soul) I know (You've never earned your soul) I know But I'm gonna try Oh I'm gonna try You float up high and it isn't a sin And there isn't a hell where we'll be sent There's only now There isn't then So just breathe it in
