I once was everything for my boss, I once was working for.
now I’m jobless and I feel like, I’m nothing anymore.
whenever we were together, the boss, he always said to me,
“what would I only do without you, I don’t better start to think and see“
.
what’s worth all that now and what I’m trying to recall.
words don’t mean a thing, when they do nothing at all.
so it doesn’t help me very much, whatever I’m trying to say.
I have been replaced for good, to a machine they gave the job away
.
now I’m no more young enough and I have had my price,
so nobody will ever take me now, except I will be taken by surprise,
but this is a dream I think and this is better to forget,
before I go into raptures at something I never can get
.
I once meant so much for the firm, I once was working for.
now I’m useless and I look like, I’m broken to the core.
whenever there was work to do, that had to be done good and fast.
you could always meet me there, just doing it for the firm at last
.
what’s worth all that now and what I’m trying to recall.
work doesn’t mean a thing, when it won’t be estimated at all.
so it doesn’t help me very much, whatever I’m trying to do.
I have lost my job for good and it can even happen to you
.
now I’m no more good enough and I have had my income.
so nobody understands me now, except my woman here at home,
and this is the reality I see but this is better to ignore,
before I start going crazy with something I can’t get anymore
.
I once was respected in a society, I once was working for,
but now I’m one of those, who doesn’t belong to it anymore.
whenever I met my people, they always told me fancy free,
“I was somebody to look up, so we like your company”
.
what’s worth all that now and what I’m trying to recall.
I know my fate is sealed, like glass I must shatter and fall.
so it doesn’t help me very much, whatever I’m trying to chase,
be fallen out of everybody’s favor, who feels no sorry for my case
.
now I’m no more worthy enough and I have had my dignity.
nobody’s sympathy is with me now, except I expect humanity,
but this is an illusion I know and this is better to pretend,
before I despair of cruelty and find my death in the end
.
