[1.] The bettin' man lays his life on a pair of lucky dice.
Surely you would not survive if you found out you had chicken lice.
You see, we're all a troubled folk - trouble follows us all our lives.
You might as well just give up hope if you can't make any sacrifice.
[CHORUS] Ooo, Khachaturian x4
[2.] I'm a hundred years behind advanced technology.
If something really has to change, why can't you keep sincerity?
I am where I want to be, but I don't know where that is.
Don't say how it could have been 'cause that's not the way it really is.
[CHORUS]
[INTERLUDE]
[3] Save me teenage-pretty boy bands who can't write their own songs
And they can't play any instruments - they can only dance to party songs.
Give me someone honest who has found his bit of soul
By working in the coal mines (and he doesn't eat from a silver bowl).
[CHORUS]
