[Verse 1]
Conscript fathers
When they were by to see
Not inspired by lack of honesty

[Chorus]
Only then could I lament their services as fortunate men
Fortunate men
As a fortunate man

[Verse 2]
Play my part to abuse you as well as I can
As well as on the first occasion
As well as in the end

[Chorus]
Only then could I regret my service as a fortunate man
As a fortunate man
There are no fortunate men
