Illusions On A Double Dimple - Triumvirat

A song for all who’ve tried and lost

a sad and bitter tale

you can’t succeed your whole life long

but some folks always fail

So we all know we have to die

the thought is full of pain

you make the grave your last farewell

your life has been in vain

So sorry, teacher, but I don’t know the things

you made me learn for today

we’ve got ten kids at home

have little room although

my daddy’s gone away

This is the last time

you will have had the chance

don’t you believe that

I’m your fool

(keep it cool)

There’s a lot of work outside

please take your books

I’d like to see you leave that school

where is the open hand that guides me

into a land with a friendly sky

(Oh, so wide…)

Mine is the road to nowhere

no sign, no light to guide me

who could describe my anger

when I was sacked last Friday?

Everything looked so fine

starting at six in the morning

work was all right, and I thought

this is a new life starting

Some of my old friends warned me

they said, «you'll never break the chain

that keeps us all apart from

the other society»

Born on the wrong side of town

maybe I felt they were right

but to change my social background

I had to work and to fight!

Last week, I was called to the foreman

he said, «you're a dirty bloke!!»

«don't lie, I’m sure you took the money

we collected for your old man’s death…»

So I stood in the door

with a tear and I felt confused

I was charged for a crime

feeling sad to have no clue

Walking out in the night

on a dark and empty street

got no hope

want to drink

'til I can’t stand on my feet

Hello!

I’d like a Double Dimple!

good and strong

running down my throat!

let’s drink, everything’s simple

spend my money

even sell my coat

There I sit in the corner

and watch my empty glass

All my hangups are gone

and I’m feeling fine at last

Walking out in the night

on a dark and empty street

where is home?

I’m so tired and want

to go to sleep

Wakin' up in the morning

when the sun is shining high

find myself in the gutter

see people passing by

Morning came on the hill

Smell of snow was in the air

Saw the sun rising up

Felt the warmth

of a new born day

I feel like dying

I never had

the chance to prove

just to lose

And so the race is run

a new life has begun

I stay on the road

a loser in rags

give me a fag

Some of my old friends warned me

they said you’ll never break the chain

that keeps us all apart from

the other society

Mine is the road to nowhere

no sign, no light to guide me

who could describe my anger

when I was sacked last Friday?
