Retirement Plan

from Rubedo by Don Paris Schlotman

/

lyrics

Is it wrong to be the agent of change
Who separates a fool from their money, honey?
When common wisdom says
They’ll soon be parting ways anyway
I don’t have an individual IRA
Stocks and bonds or a 401K
My chances of retiring are pretty slim
So I guess I’ll have to rely on
My cold hearted friend
Mr. three-five-seven-M

Now please don’t get me wrong
I’m the nicest guy you’ll ever meet
But you don’t want to run into me
On a late night desolate street
Desperation can make a man do some crazy things
Please understand, I’d really just rather sing
But sometimes life kicks you right in the crotch
So if it’s not too much trouble
And you value your life
Hand me your money, your jewels, and your watch

Besmirch my honor?
Honey there ain’t no such thing
I pawned that 3 months ago
The day I sold that fancy ring
I can see in your eye a foolish try ending in requiem
Wonder if I’ve got the guts
Well I’m totally nuts
Surrender to Mr. three-five-seven-M

I suppose I could settle down and change my ways
Get a real job with longer hours and better pay
But I’m not sure what the hell I’d put on my resume
The chances of being hired are slim these days
All I’ve got to rely on
Is my cold hearted friend
Mr. three-five-seven-M
