Bolje zivim nego ministar

sve je isto ka i lani
zena kuci, a ja vani
penzija mi u kavani
bez brige mi idu dani
Ref.
Zivim, zivim, a nicega nema
pijem, pusim, lose mi se sprema
ni me briga nek sam zdrav
necu biti bogat star
bolje zivim nego ministar
Ni me briga nek sam zdrav
iako sam podstanar
bolje zivim nego ministar
U tri sata ja se budim
od pijanstva glava ludi
zivot tece ka i rijeka
a za mene nema lijeka
becar sam od pamtivijeka
Ref.
Od zivota nista nemam
vanzemaljac nesto sprema
cile mile no piu mille
godine su proletile
zene su me ostarile
Ref.
