Build your coffin of balsa wood

Spend all that you earn

When you go you are gone for good

Never to return

Always to thine own self be true

Not to fools like me

Who'll change their minds

For the sake of rhyming schemes

Au revoir joi, bonjour tristesse

Only pain and sorrow

So don't rely on the stars above

Screw the universe

You'd better try to live your life on earth

So au revoir joi, bonjour tristesse

Good times come and they go

This life owes nobody happiness

Only pain and sorrow

So don't rely on the stars above

Screw the universe

You'd better try to live your life on earth

I'm gonna try to live my life on earth
