I’d like to be hopeless
So I’d be free
Free from you
And your blackmailing needs
Free to run anywhere
If I ain’t got hope, then I won’t
Find any reason to stay
If I ain’t got hope
I can do anything
And fall with a smile
when you are staring at me
If I ain’t got hope
Then I won’t suffer
When you eat me for breakfast
And then forget me at supper
If just for one day
I was a hopeless man
I could empty my mind
And give (my poor brain a break) a break to my brain
If ain’t got hope
Then you won’t hurt me
When you say that I have never, ever,
Made you horny
