Free Nelson Mandela

"It's already half past eleven and you're in bed
- my joyful brunette told me -
Don't you think it's about time
To make a sacrifice for the cause?"
I said, lighting a cigarette:
"The world is sinking into madness,
And you, showing off your unconsciousness,
Put me between a rock and a hard place"

Free, Nelson Mandela set him... Free!

Then she scolded me for coming back
Drunk, around three in the morning;
For waking her up with my desires
To break the sixth commandment.
I said: "Slow and steady wins the race,
Peace is only temporary,
And history won't dawn a little earlier
Just because I got up."

I told her not to make a big deal
Out of a simple glass of wine,
That I wasn't trying to show off,
It's tough to reach forty.
"Tomorrow I might not be with you
And the world will be nothing but ruins,
Why don't you take it easy
And come sin with me here?"
