What's up?
What's up and what's the story,
Rich kid,
Why do I see you so washed up?
What's up?
Have you also hit rock bottom
And been left penniless by the crisis?
What's up?
The storm caught you too
And you're dry and broke
On the platform?
And if the series continues like this
I see you out in the open
Lit up by kerosene!
I know you see dad
And you beg and get screwed over,
And you see mom
And you ask her for more but she's done;
That you pawned the car
And now you take the bus;
That you no longer go to the cabaret
And settle for coffee;
That you can't sign
An addition of zero ten
Because they'll collect
And you talk to them about promissory notes;
That you have nowhere to stand
Because the crisis hit you hard.
I dreamed of this crisis
And you're just like me!
What's up?
What's up? How's it going,
Rich kid?
Who would've thought it was you!...
What's up?
You used to throw around thousands
And now you're left
Chewing parsley...
What's up?
Like everyone, the game
Caught up to you
And you're left up in the palm tree
Dried up...
That as the saying goes
Every creature that walks
Is because it's not standing still...
