Everyman Songtext
von Parasite

A golden signet ring plays on my mind
More than I care to say
He′s a rake he's a rogue
Not a spiv or a toad
But for all his education

Today he washes glasses
Tomorrow he trades stocks and diamonds

Suddenly belittled
By his intercontinental love affair
Has the sky ever limited the young
The young?


For today he washes glasses
Tomorrow he sells stocks and shares
The silver spoon in his mouth
Is never long unpolished

You can′t buy taste I say
You can't buy class he says

It's time to get the dirt from under my nail
Before the flight

For today he washes glasses
(First plane to Geneva)
Tomorrow he sells stocks and shares
(First plane to Geneva)
The silver spoon in his mouth
(First plane to Geneva)
Is never long unpolished
