You don't care about nothing 
So you don't care about love 
If you want me to come back 
You'd better change 
 
You'd better give up talking about money 
Begin thinking of love 
If you want me to come back 
You'd better change 
 
You'd better change for the better 
It cost more than dollars and cents 
Take it from me there's - got to be 
An end to this decadence 
This decadence 
 
You don't care about people 
So you don't care about pain 
If you want me to come back 
You'd better change 
 
You'd better change for the better 
Start using some common sense 
Take it from me there's - got to be 
An end to this decadence 
 
For decadence - is fatal 
It's the beginning of the end 
In self-defense 
I cannot recommend 
This decadence 
 
You don't care about real life 
You're too distant and strange 
If you want me to come back 
 
You'd better change for the better 
It may be rather intense 
Stop this caprice, you've got to cease  
This fin-de-siecle pretence 
 
For decadence - is fatal 
It's the beginning of the end 
In consequence 
I cannot recommend 
This decadence 
This decadence 
This decadence 
This decadence
