• Gone Going (Album «Monkey Business», 2005)

Nothing lasts forever (translation)
Johnny wants to become a super star.
He wants to be on stage, playing the guitar,
Save up some money, buy a fancy car,
Mansion and alligator
In tone crocodile shoes.
He had already made a fortune and do not sing the blues.
He sings about the transient value -
About platinum rings and watches, studded with diamonds.
But diamonds do not sparkle in the dark.
Now he's a star, but he did not put their hearts into their songs.
Sooner or later, its success will end
After all, his old fans will be disappointed in the metamorphosis took place.
Now it does not have what they once hooked,
That is, the depth of feelings and thoughts.
He now lives in the shallows.
Passion - a love for the material ...

[Chorus]
Not forever ... nothing lasts forever ... not forever ...
Will be ... let it be ... the hell!
And the birds are gone, if they refuse to sing.
And the people perish ... if wallow in material ... Nothing lasts forever ...

You look at yourself in the mirror
And you're cool because you recognize yourself in the reflection.
But you're afraid to look itself in the soul,
Because in fact you do not know
Who is behind this outer shell,
You quite like to be naive black guy.
You do not notice their own limitations,
Meaninglessness of existence, you are a slave of the material.
I've already seen the likes of you.
They think that the soul can be bought on the market
In the same package, with the spices,
Fruit and vegetables.
Do you think that there is nothing wrong with
But you live in a fantasy world as a hero of art novel.
Look into the face of reality and learn
What happens if you take away your material.
And after you've sold the soul, and ...

[Chorus]

You say, time is money - money - time.
That is money - this is the only thing that occupies your mind.
What about the crime that you committed for profit?
What about the price that you paid for? You do not even try to grasp them.
You can not decide on shoes that are going to wear today.
What's the use to go to them, if not you come off the beaten path?

All of your money will be gone one day.
And fashion rag too perish.
From your house on the hill, sooner or later there is nothing left.
And the gold-plated grill fall off.
Jewelry on your wrists too, would not,
And This mission will be pretty close to you is forever.
Abundance, in which you swim, be over.
But worst of all is that your soul will be lost.
