Paroles de What A Waste
A street filled with vendors in Patpong in Bangkok, outside a sleazy night-club called "LeMoulin Rouge" where the ENGINEER is doorman and barker. Other DOORMEN compete
with him for the attention of crowds of TOURISTS.)
ENGINEER

yo! check it out!
hey, boy! You want to try my girls?
try my girls, eh? etc...

TOURISTS
I'm glad my wife's not here with me!
ENGINEER
what a waste! I can't get ahead
there's nothing as dead
as peace here in Bangkok
ten cents an hour, and I stand all day
I could sell Kim for ten times my pay
(to some TOURISTS)
if you're looking for fun
original sin
if you want to put out
then you gotta come in
(TOURISTS pass. He tries to make them take his leaflets.)

to two Japanese TOURISTS)
don't be a lump, you can hump
for a small extra fee
ENGINEER
I'm depressed
for hustling amours
to Japanese tours
is no treat in Bangkok
I'm the best
but where's a Marine
with fistfuls of green
I'd cheat him in Bangkok
ten cents an hour...
(The CLUB OWNER, the ENGINEER'S boss, passes.)
evening, Boss
...screw the Siamese
look how they're ripping off... refugees
(to another PASSER-BY)
