lyrics

No Future

Father can chuckle away in his chair
„Told you so, my son, no future there“
He didn’t know the thrill of the street
The taste of the biting, morning air
The taste of the day with all to gain
There’s nothing to lose
It’s all to gain

The people go on and by and by
Buy and buy their food and clothes
One or two stand aside and hear
No blisters on their souls
They clap and they smile and they nod their thanks
With that they go, they’ve filled their tanks

I once knew a man in London town
An old man with a notice-
„Only give me silver please“
I laughed, but I did notice!
Now he’d been a-dancing since he was seven
Now let’s send him happy to heaven

A black man with a silver voice
Was pulling crowds and plenty
The kids were dancing and the parents paid
They gave him pfennigs twenty
„Hey man“, he said, „now what’s your game?“
He took his guitar, he caught the train

Father can chuckle away in his chair
„Told you so, my son, no future there“
He didn’t know the thrill of the street
The taste of the biting, morning air
The taste of the day with all to gain
There’s nothing to lose
It’s all to gain
