[English]

SO I WAS SITTING THERE IN THE BAR

AND THIS GUY CAME UP TO ME AND HE SAID, "MY LIFE STINKS"

AND I SAW HIS GOLD CREDIT CARD

AND I SAW THE WAY THAT HE WAS LOOKING AT PEOPLE

ACROSS THE ROOM AND I LOOKED AT HIS FACE

AND YOU KNOW, QUITE A GOOD LOOKING FACE

AND I JUST SAID, "DUDE, (SCOFFS) YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON LIFE SUCKS"

(UPBEAT MUSIC)
