How is everything going
very good
I'm glad

ahh... son
things aren't how
how they paint them
money doesn't fall from the sky
and the streets aren't
lined with gold
there is lots of work
you can do well
I won't argue that

you'll never be with them
the americans will suck you dry
here, you want for nothing
