Song Lyrics

Cigarettes are lit one by one

Wine is drunk one by one

Please be considerate

I'm not good at drinking Sell me a cup of punch

Time goes by day by day

Sweat is flowing one by one

One day, we will all be old Bringing a certain son to the battlefield

The prodigal son returns to his old age

The prodigal son returns to his old age

The prodigal son returns to his new life

Dear, sweet, handsome friend

Rubbish, no good, useless friend

To ride my motorcycle on the bumpy road

My life is shit anyway

I have no money and no life

Friends, come to me

Cigarettes are lit one by one

They are lit one by one

We have a good life, but we have a lot to do with it.

Drinks by the glass

Please understand me

I can't hold my liquor well, please give me a drink

Time goes by day by day

Sweat by the drop

One day, we will be old and we will take our children with us

Return of the Prodigal Son

Cigarettes by the glass

Drinks by the glass

We have no money to drink, we can't take our lives. One glass, one glass, one glass

Please understand me

I can't hold my liquor, sell me a bottle of Chonkol

Time goes on day by day

Sweat by sweat

One day, we'll be old and we'll take someone with us

Cigarettes by cigarette, one by cigarette, one by one

One glass, one glass, one glass

Please understand me

Please understand me. I can't hold my liquor well, so sell me a cup of punch

Time goes by day by day

Sweat drops by drop

One day, we'll be old, we'll be old, we'll be old, we'll be old, we'll be old. p>

The vicissitudes of the heart in "The Return of the Prodigal Son" reveal the brotherly love that many men had in their youth.

While the three musicians of Eggplant Egg were all just 30 years old when the song was written, the lyrics of this Southern Minnesota song's lyrical rock are at the same time full of vicissitudes and transparency, and the vocals are full of a strong jianghu tone.

When Eggplant Egg performed the song between 2015 and 2016, he sang hard even on the chorus.

And in the 2017 re-recorded version, Eggplant Egg gradually learned the wonders of controlling strength and weakness, and the weaker parts of the song were largely sung in an airy voice, which was even better while also making the song's contrast of strength and weakness even more striking.
