It's a hard world to get a break in
All the good things have been taken
But girl there are ways to make certain things pay
Though I'm dressed in these rags, I'll wear sable someday
Hear what I say
I'm gonna ride the serpent
No more time spent sweatin' rent
Hear my command
I'm breakin' loose, it ain't no use
Holdin' me down, stick around
But baby (baby)
Remember (remember)
It's my life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
But some day I'll treat you real fine
There'll be women and their fortunes
Who just want to mother orphans
Are you gonna cry, when I'm squeezin' the rye
Takin' all I can get, no regrets
When I, openly lie
And leave only money
Believe me honey, that money
Can you believe, I ain't no saint
No complaints
So girl go out
Hand it out
And baby (baby)
Remember (remember)
It's my life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
But some day I'll treat you real fine
(It's my life and I'll do what I want) don't push me
(It's my mind and I'll think what I want) it's my life
(It's my life and I'll do what I want) and I can do what I want
(It's my mind and I'll think what I want) you can't tell me
(It's my life and I'll do what I want) I'll do what I want
It's a hard world to get a break in
Es ist eine harte Welt, um eine Chance zu bekommen
All the good things have been taken
Alle guten Dinge sind schon genommen
But girl there are ways to make certain things pay
Aber Mädchen, es gibt Wege, um bestimmte Dinge bezahlt zu machen
Though I'm dressed in these rags, I'll wear sable someday
Obwohl ich in diesen Lumpen gekleidet bin, werde ich eines Tages Zobel tragen
Hear what I say
Hör, was ich sage
I'm gonna ride the serpent
Ich werde die Schlange reiten
No more time spent sweatin' rent
Keine Zeit mehr, Miete zu schwitzen
Hear my command
Hör meinen Befehl
I'm breakin' loose, it ain't no use
Ich breche aus, es hat keinen Sinn
Holdin' me down, stick around
Mich festzuhalten, bleib in der Nähe

Zeig mir, dass ich falsch liege, verletze mich irgendwann
But some day I'll treat you real fine
Aber eines Tages werde ich dich richtig gut behandeln
There'll be women and their fortunes
Es wird Frauen und ihr Vermögen geben
Who just want to mother orphans
Die nur Waisen erziehen wollen
Are you gonna cry, when I'm squeezin' the rye
Wirst du weinen, wenn ich den Roggen ausquetsche
Takin' all I can get, no regrets
Nehme alles, was ich bekommen kann, ohne Reue
When I, openly lie
Wenn ich, offen lüge
And leave only money
Und nur Geld hinterlasse
Believe me honey, that money
Glaub mir, Schatz, dieses Geld
Can you believe, I ain't no saint
Kannst du glauben, dass ich kein Heiliger bin
