[Verse 1]
You don't care about nothing
So you don't care about love
If you want me to come back
You'd better change

[Verse 2]
You'd better give up talking about money
Begin thinking of love
If you want me to come back
You'd better change

[Chorus]
You'd better change for the better
It cost more than dollars and cents
Take it from me, there's got to be
An end to this decadence
This decadence

[Verse 3]
You don't care about people
So you don't care about pain
If you want me to come back
You'd better change

[Chorus]
You'd better change for the better
Start using some common sense
Take it from me there's got to be
An end to this decadence

[Post-Chorus]
For decadence is fatal
It's the beginning of the end
In self-defence, I cannot recommend
This decadence

[Verse 4]
You don't care about real life
You're too distant and strange
If you want me to come back

[Chorus]
You'd better change for the better
It may be rather intense
Stop this caprice, you've got to cease
This fin-de-si'cle pretence

[Post-Chorus]
For decadence is fatal
It's the beginning of the end
In consequence, I cannot recommend
This decadence

[Outro]
This decadence
This decadence
This decadence
