Florence Quits [Finnish translation]

[THE AMERICAN]

So you got what you want

What a nasty ambition!

Set me up, pull me down

Then exploit my condition

I should have guessed, woman

That if pressed, woman

You're on nobody's side but your own

And you're behaving

Like a mere woman

It's so clear, woman

It's your sex!

Once they start getting old and getting worried

They let fly, take it out

On the one who supports them

That's you I'm talking about

[FLORENCE + THE AMERICAN]

Who'd ever think it?

Such a squalid little ending

Watching you descending

Just as far as you can go

I'm learning things I didn't want to know

Who'd ever guess it?

This would be the situation

One more observation

How'd we ever get this far

Before you showed me what you really are?

[FLORENCE]

You'll be lost without me

To abuse like you're used to

[THE AMERICAN]

Go away! Just get out!

Be someone else's parasite!

I'm not the kind to be vindictive

Holding some childish grudge

How could I be? I'm in the spotlight

Half of the world my judge

All I demand is those I work for

Those I give all my skills

All my time and pain

Those that I entertain

Give me the same compassion in return

But the fools never learn!
