Decent Life

wanna lead a decent life
going back to point zero now
suicidal tendency
put it all behind me now
wanna lead a steady life
no house with shutters on it
to hide the loneliness
of man and family
hey, hey
a decent life
wanna lead a decent life
gonna use my body as a gun
and gain the confidence
of graceful bodies now
just feel the tropical heat
of your body’s qualities
hey, hey
a decent life
the boys in the background
the girls up front
everybody’s ready
to lead a steady life
hey, hey
a decent life
the women of Barbados
the men of France
they’re all ready
to lead a decent life
the girls in bikinis
the boys in shorts
they’re all ready
to lead a steady life
