 ENGINEER
 if you want to die in bed
 follow my example
 when you see a cloud ahead
 it's time to show your class
 hit the door before
 they make a target of your ass

 if you want to die in bed
 in times of revolution
 when the flag they fly is red
 let pride fill up your chest
 meanwhile pack a sack
 and take the first boat heading west

 (he enters the abandoned backroom of what was once "Dreamland", opens a trapdoor in the
 floor and removes a tin box. He opens it.)

 my precious souvenirs
 of all the golden years
 Rolex watches in steel
 that look practically real
 I'll need a little stock
 to start me in Bangkok!

 if you want to die in bed
 forget about your karma
 when your life hangs by a thread
 don't cry about the fates
 grab a stash of cash
 and plan a rest'rant in the States

 let me stop for a bit
 this was my greatest hit
 Miss Saigon in her crown
 I made queen of the town
 I got 'em paying more
 for just another whore

 here I come
 U.S.A.
 your next champ's
 on his way

 for men will always be men
 the rules are the same
 for kings or for clerks

 give me Francs, or Dollars or Yen
 I'll set up a game
 I know how it works

 why was I born of a race
 that thinks only of rice
 and hates entrepreneurs?
 me I belong in a place
 where a man sets his price
 and you pay, and he's yours

 I should be... American!
 where every promise lands
 and every businessman knows where he stands

 first stop Bangkok then I roam
 cross that ocean white with foam
 to the place that's my heart's true home

 if you want to die in bed
 en route to your nirvana
 you grab a chance and plunge ahead
 and go where people win

 heaven's there... oh, shit!
 you need a visa to get in
