(Jan Eggum/Jan Eggum)
De sier livet e lett
For en som e født som avholdsmann
En som heller vil la være
Enn å prøve ka han kan
Han e sikker da
Han e stolt og sta
Han tror han kan lære av andres feil
Fordi han vet at noen drukner hvis alle setter seil
Eg har gått
Hjemløs
Ut og inn av dører
Rotløs
Uten fører
Målløs
Mens forsamlingene jublet omkring oss
Hvileløs
Må eg holde koken
Nådeløs
Mot hver feil i boken
Sjanseløs
For alene må eg sloss
De sier verden må bli flat
Når du e fan av USA
Og du sørger for å bare gå der alle har det bra
Du e full av liv
Og initiativ
Du teller penger og poeng
Lykken er å være rikere hver kveld du går i seng
Mens eg går
Hjemløs
Midt i villa-hyggen
Rotløs
På Aker Brygge
Målløs
Mens venner tenker på børs og profitt
Og hvileløs
Tar eg tusen jobber
Nådeløs
Imot alle snobber
Men sjanseløs
Når de andre går til sitt
Så rusler eg hem
Ikkje skilt ikkje gift
Eg kan alltids bli munk
Eller slave av drift
Men helst går eg ut
Og e klovn på by'n
For når livet
Blir et sirkus
Kan eg le
Av alle andre sitt syn
De sier verden blir enkel
Når du e fan av et system
Og du tror at staten eller Gud
Kan løse ethvert problem
Du blir stiv og lat
Du blir byråkrat
Ja, du blir salig i din tro
Og mens prestene får preke
Blir du sittende og glo
Mens eg e
Hjemløs
Inni alle kirker
Rotløs
Ingen dop som virker
Målløs
Mens de frelste priser frelsen for seg
Hvileløs
Mellom to partier
Nådeløs
Mot det loven sier
Men sjanseløs
Fordi ingen trenger meg
Noen tror på den som taler
Noen på den som betaler
Troløs vil eg vere klovn
