It's cold here, but I'll soon be warm again,
I have no friends here, but I know things will soon change,
It is expensive here, I can't afford to survive,
I could be dead, people don't even know if I'm alive.
Yes that's my deal, but they want to see their money first,
That's what about it is, but man good job I'm first,
I've had lots of girls yeah, it's enough to make you weep,
They've been told it's just for free, and child you make me go back to sleep.
See the cars yeah, air conditioned, automatic heat,
They drive so fast here, to the mall all shiny white and neat,
Hey here the cops they smile yeah, no they'll never put you inside,
Oh we're happy yes indeed, to accept your bribe.
Well I can't stand it, I did what was expected of a Roman in Rome,
Well I'll stay here one more day, then pack my bags and head for home.
Head for home now,
Feel fine,
That's where I'm going Jimmy,
Headin' for home,
I gotta go there, putting my feet up,
Bye bye,
Get my head down,
Bye bye,
Be back soon Eric, bye bye,
So long, bye bye,
So long, bye bye,
So long, bye bye.
