Job's Song (original)

You were desperate, you were bereft,
You went to God, and asked him to you bless
You begged to God’s blessed heart
God looks, and starts to laugh…
You were desperate, you were bereft,
You went to Satan, asked him to bless
You begged to Satan’s blessed heart
Satan looks at you and starts to laugh…
You were desperate, you were bereft,
You went to the Angel, asked him to bless
You went to the Angel’s blessed heart
The Angel looks at you and starts to laugh…
You were desperate, you were bereft,
You went to Man and asked him, to you bless
You went to the Man’s blessed heart
Man looks at you and starts to laugh…
Always it’s been the same
The winners, they can play the game
Always the same, from times long past
You help yourself for they’ll you shaft
You went to Man, help you asked Man looks at you and starts to laugh
You went to Man, help, you asked, Look at Man, as at you he laughs…

Estabas desesperado, estabas despojado,
Fuiste a Dios, y le pediste que te bendiga
Le suplicaste al bendito corazón de Dios
Dios mira, y comienza a reír…
Estabas desesperado, estabas despojado,
Fuiste a Satanás, le pediste que te bendijera
Le suplicaste al bendito corazón de Satanás
Satanás te mira y comienza a reírse…
Estabas desesperado, estabas despojado,
Fuiste al ángel, le pediste que te bendijera
Fuiste al corazón bendito del Ángel
El Ángel te mira y se echa a reír…
Estabas desesperado, estabas despojado,
Fuiste al hombre y le pediste, que te bendiga
Fuiste al bendito corazón del Hombre
El hombre te mira y empieza a reír...
Siempre ha sido lo mismo
Los ganadores, pueden jugar el juego
Siempre lo mismo, desde tiempos pasados
Te ayudas a ti mismo porque te joderán
Fuiste a Man, ayuda que le pediste El hombre te mira y comienza a reír
Fuiste al Hombre, ayuda, le dijiste, Mira al Hombre, como de ti se ríe…
