  • 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 Writer/s: EDDIE VEDDER
