Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't ask me to love my neighbour
'Cause I don't love the man
Don't ask me for my favours
I won't lend a hand
And if I had real power
Then I could disappear
Wouldn't have to be around you
I'd sink into the atmosphere
[Verse 2]
Then I wouldn't hear
Your hard luck story
It's a hard luck, a hard luck story
[Verse 3]
Don't ask me to tip the waiter
For he is underhand
I can tell he is a woman hater
And he is a nasty man
Within reach lies all desire
For each and every soul
Stripped bare and stretching higher
You fall into the last black hole
[Verse 4]
To end your hard
Hard luck story
It's a hard luck, a hard luck story
[Verse 5]
Don't ask me to pray to Jesus
I've never met the man
I only meet weekend preachers
Pictures of the promised land
All the new holy saviours
Who pretend to understand
Who do you think will save you?
Modern day beggar man
[Verse 6]
Such a hard, hard luck story
It's a hard luck, a hard luck story
[Verse 7]
Such a hard, hard luck story
It's a hard luck, a hard luck story
[Verse 8]
(It's a hard luck) Don't ask me to love my neighbour
(Hard luck story) Don't ask me to tip the waiter
(It's a hard luck) Don't ask me to pray to Jesus
(Hard luck story) he picked his time to leave us
[Verse 9]
It's a hard luck, a hard luck story
It's a hard luck, a hard luck story
It's a hard luck, a hard luck story
