I had the pushback
I heard the hard word
Came up the hard way
It didn't faze me
I had the fire in the belly
I learned the door codes
I kept my nose clean
I got the soft eyes
I took the lump sum
And I trousered it away
My special insights
Were used in sound bites
I worked the drawdown
I planned the clawback
Avoided mission creep
I had the upgrade
I got the ensuite
A seat with sight-lines
I got the glad hand
(That put the tin hat on it)
It don't make no, never mind
It don't make no, never mind
Every naked ape
It wants to live forever
It don't make no, never mind
When you leave the world behind
I got three words for you
Nowhere, nothing, never
I hawked a new deal
Broke off some blue chip
I found the nosebag
Finessed the big beasts
It was a simple thing to do
I did the grand slam
And then some handstands
Used only name brands
(I had some quality moments)
I met the big cheese
He sent his lynch pin
Gave me his new book
I read the whole dam'
Thing on the plane
And all of these scenes
There in my grand scheme
Were all I had dreamed
(Cocked up the one time)
(It was an isolated case)
It don't make no, never mind
It don't make no, never mind
Every human soul
And all our best endeavor's
It don't make no, never mind
When you leave the world behind
Just keep this in mind
Nowhere, nothing, never
I found the right one
We had too much fun
Couldn't keep our pants on
And I never ever looked at another
We had a rapport
That you would die for
As big as that door
And I finished her sentences for her
We found the on switch
And then we got rich
And in the last ditch
There was nothing still
Left to accomplish
We made a fine pair
It didn't stop there
We climbed the grand stair
And walked the old colonnade
In the summer
It don't make no, never mind
It don't make no, never mind
Every naked ape
It wants to live forever
It don't make no, never mind
When you leave the world behind
I got three words for you
Nowhere, nothing, never
