Decadence

You don't care about nothing

So you don't care about love

If you want me to come back

You'd better change

You'd better give up talking 'bout money

Begin thinking of love

If you want me to come back

You'd better change

You'd better change for the better

It costs more than dollars and cents

Take it from me

There's got to be

An end to this decadence

This decadence

You don't care about people

So you don't care about pain

If you want me to come back

You'd better change

You'd better change for the better

Start using some common sense

Take it from me

There's got to be

An end to this decadence

For decadence is fatal

It's the beginning of the end

In self-defence

I cannot recommend

This decadence

You don't care about real life

You're too distant and strange

If you want me to come back

You'd better change for the better

It may be rather intense

Stop this caprice

You've got to cease

This fin-de-si'cle pretence

For decadence is fatal

It's the beginning of the end

In consequence

I cannot recommend

This decadence
