Dandy
Now they call you
Those who didn't know you
When back then, you were just a regular guy
Because you pass as a good kid
And now you think you're a big shot
But I know, dandy
That you're a nobody and in the neighborhood
They talk bad about you
When they find out you're just a snitch
Your coffee shop friends will ditch you
You were born into
A world of crooks, scoundrels, and tricksters
Yet who would have thought
That in the circus of life, you were always a big loser
Among the criminal crowd
You haven't made a mark
Because the young ones are saying
That the word is out
And they've figured out you're just a big talker
Dandy
Instead of showing off so much
Think a little
About your old lady and her pain
Your poor sister in the workshop
Gives her life with complete love
And at night
Her sick soul
Merges with her mother's
Both suffering
When one day your head turns gray
You'll cry for your sister and your old lady
