Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a Corvette
Thinks he'll get the girl, he'll only get the mechanic
What's missing? He's living a day he'll soon forget

That's one more time around, the sun is going down
The moon is out, but he's drunk and shouting, putting people down
He's pissing, he's living a day he'll soon forget

Counts his money every morning, the only thing that keeps him horny
Locked in a giant house, that's alarming
The townsfolk, they all laugh

Sorry is the fool who trades his love for hi-rise rent
Seems the more you make equals the loneliness you get
And it's fitting, he's barely living a day he'll soon forget

That's one more time around, and there is not a sound
He's lying dead, clutching Benjamins, never put the money down
He's stiffening, we're all whistling, a man we'll soon forget
