I thought we had a Deal
I climb into the cockpit,
flip the switch and all goes green
I rise up to the skies in a rocket-powered mule
My fortune runs on lies and the smell of engine fuel
Contraband’s the low-life’s friend
No looking back when money’s in your hand
BUT: halfway on the run
A spaceman finds me with his gun
He says, ‘Mate, you know how it is
It’s either you or it is me
This is not the life that I was promised it to be.’
So he shot me down
Down, down, down
A spaceman shot me down
Down, down, down
This is not the future we were promised
This is not what life was s’posed to be
We were promised hoverboards and jetpacks
Not to hustle for our paychecks
Another life, another time
I’m running errands for a dime
I crawl around a city where the streets are paved in gold
But underneath the pavement lie the souls that have been sold
Then, one day a suitman comes
He offers exorbitant sums
But as you guessed, he sold me out
Now I’m just six feet underground
He said: ‘Mate, you know how it is
It’s either you or it is me
This is not the life that I was promised it to be.’
So he shook me down
Down, down, down
A suitman shook me down
Down, down, down
This is not the future we were promised
This is not what life was s’posed to be
We were promised hoverboards and jetpacks
Not to hustle for our paychecks
Hell yeah, A spaceman shot me down! Kann man ja gar nicht keinen Song dazu im Ohr haben…!
Nice one, Stefan! 🙂
We were promised hoverboards and jetpacks
Not to hustle for our paychecks!!!!!!!
