Lyrics

Vedder

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
Seem 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
