When, when we were young   We had no history   So nothing to lose      Meant we could choose   Choose what we wanted then   Without any fear   Or thought of revenge      But then you grew old   And I lost my ambition   So I gained an addiction   To drink and depression      (They are mine   My only true friends   And I'll keep them with me   Until the very end)      I'd choose not to remember   But I miss your arrogance   And I need your intelligence   And your hate for authority      But now you're gone   I read it today   They found you in Spain   Face down in the Street      With a bottle in your hand   And a wild smile on your face   And a knife in your back   You died in a foreign land      And they found my letter   Rolled up in your pocket   Where I said I'd kill myself   If she left me again      So now she's gone   And you're both in my mind   I've got one thing to say   Before I am drunk again:      God damn the sun   God damn the sun   God damn anyone   That says a kind word      God damn the sun    God damn the sun    God damn the light it shines    And this world it shows       God damn the sun
