Afterlife - The Price of Tea in China текст песни

The old man reads in the paper
That the worst is yet to come
He does believe every thing he reads
Where do they get these stories from?
The young man counting his pennies
To save for a rainy day
Just like his father told him
A storm will be heading this way
What’s that got to do with the price of tea in china?
Could I interest you in some real estate in hell?
The old man drank from a bottle
The best years of his life
He’s got a son and a daughter or two
But he no longer has a wife
The young man thinks he’s a scholar
Dreams he’ll be a millionaire
In times of need will he show his greed
To the one’s who thought he cared?
The old man died in a alley
They said it was a natural death
There was no one to hear his dying song
When he drew his final breath
The young man just finished college
He got himself a decent career
When all is said and done, who has lost or won?
He pops the top on another beer
