 [1]So now I am [2]old[3]er,
 [4]Than my mother and [5]father,
 [6]When they had their [7]daughter,
 8 9 10
 Now what does that say about me.
 [1]Oh how could I [2]dream[3] of,
 [4]Such a selfless and [5]true love,
 [6]Could I wash my hand[7]s of?
 8 9 10
 Just looking out for me

 {eot}
 
 Oh man what I used to be
 Oh man oh my oh me (x2)
 
 The rest of the verses and choruses follow the same pattern.
 
 In dearth or in excess
 Both the slave and the empress,
 Will return to the dirt I guess,
 Naked as when they came.
 I wonder if I'll see,
 Any faces above me,
 Or just cracks in the ceiling,
 Nobody else to blame.
 
 Oh man what I used to be,
 Oh man oh my oh me (x2)
 
 Gold teeth and gold jewelry
 Every piece of your dowry
 Throw them into the tomb with me
 Bury them with my name.
 Unless I have someday,
 Ran my wandering
 In my underway
 
 Oh man what I used to be
 Montezuma to tripoli
 Oh man oh my oh me
