Be embraced, billions
This kiss for the whole world

Can this day last forever?
There's no sign of stormy weather
I could kidnap the sky
And pour it straight into my glass
It's time that I asked
Are you ready or d'you need one more measure?
Be braced, be together
We'll be fighting on the frontline
Up on cloud 9
We're true believers
The last of the dreamers

But we're running for our lives now
(And we're running for our lives)
One last kiss
And this kiss for the whole world
And we're running for our lives now
(And we're running for our lives)
One last kiss
And this kiss for the whole world
And we're running for our lives now
(And we're running for our lives)
One last kiss
And this kiss for the whole world

You're still standing like a statue
You stay calm when all about you
Is falling apart
Joy is a vanishing act
It's looking intact
But like you, it's just a mythical treasure
Be braced, be together
We'll be dancing on the frontline
To symphony number 9
Can you see us?
Nothing comes between us

And we're running for our lives now
(And we're running for our lives)
One last kiss
And this kiss for the whole world
Yo, yo, yo, yo
Get it
This kiss for the whole world
Get it
This kiss for the whole world
And we're running for our lives now
(And we're running for our lives)
One last kiss
And this kiss for the whole world

We're running for our lives now
One last kiss
This kiss for the whole world

Please set me on fire

Waiting for your signal, waiting for a sign
Looking upward, away from the divine
(Won't you come down? Won't you come down?) And reify yourself
Be my fire lily, on the blackened ground

In the city, on a quiet night
You can hear us set ourselves alight
Oh let me transcend and be a flicker in your eyes
Wait for the spark, I'm no good at goodbyes

I wanna be ash in the atmosphere
Please set me on fire, set me on firе
Can you strike a match, make a me disappеar?
Please set me on fire, set me on fire

I'm sick of being broken, I'm sick of being bruised
I'm a quarry, deserted and disused
(Won't you come down, won't you come down) And clear my state of mind
Be my excavator and tell me what you find

In the city, on a quiet night
You can hear us set ourselves alight
Oh let me transcend and be a flicker in your eyes
Wait for the spark

Please set me on fire
Please set me on fire

I wanna be ash in the atmosphere (Please set me on fire, set me on fire)
Can you strike a match, make me disappear?
Please set me on fire, set me on fire
Please set me on fire (I wanna be ash in the atmosphere, set me on fire, set me on fire)
Please set me on fire (Can you strike a match, make me disappear?)
Set me on fire, set me on fire

I operate through space and time
I infiltrate every part of your mind
Under my influence
I'm completely subliminal
I’m bigger than biblical
I propel every criminal
Still, silent, sterile, desolate and rippleless
Know that you're powerless
(Can you get a grip on this?)
Saddle up and grapple with it
Know that I will shackle, impede, and paralyze those that battle with it

Come a little closer to me
Have you figured it, figured it out?
Comе a little closer to me

You arе under my control
You are the goldfish, I am the bowl
You're swimming in circles, I am eternal
You are the goldfish, I am the bowl

You think this water is limitless?
It’s stagnant and spiritless
There's no music, just tinnitus
Jesus ain't gonna save you
He's a shit multitasker
But I can send you to slaughter whilst I moonwalk on water

Come a little closer to me
Have you figured it, figured it out?
Come a little closer to me
Gotta find a way to be free
Can you figure it, figure it out?
Gotta find a way to be free

You are under my control
You are the goldfish, I am the bowl
You're swimming in circles, I am eternal
You are a goldfish
You are under my control
You are the goldfish, I am the bowl
You're swimming in circles, I am eternal
You are the goldfish, I am the bowl

Are you starting to believe it?
Are you starting to justify your situation?
Are you starting to believe it?
When people feel powerless they will rarely resist
Resist
Resist
Resist
When people feel powerless they will rarely resist

Trapped in a feedback loop
Got me feeling like I'm swimming through soup
Got me feeling like a I need to cut loose

You are under my control
You are a goldfish, I am the bowl
You're swimming in circles, I am eternal
You are the goldfish
I am the bowl
You are under my control
You are the goldfish, I am the bowl
You’re swimming in circles, I am eternal
You are the goldfish

You are the goldfish (Hey, hey)
You are the goldfish (Hey)
You are the goldfish
You’re just a fucking goldfish

Stuff your pockets, stuff your mouth
Much more than feeding
Your bloated god, your bank account
Your empathy's fleeting

Now that you own the cure, you bought the truth
Still, you want more
Down on your knees, you bleed it out
This type of believing

Ooh-woah-oh
Hold on, wait
We have had all we can take
You can keep the money
‘Cause all we need is el-oh-vee-ee, love
Ooh-woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
El-oh-vee-ee, love
Ooh-woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
El-oh-vee-ee, el-oh-vee-ee, love

You pushed the point to no return
Take more and repeat it
Stockpiled possessions, watch them burn
We've got all we needed

Before you got too far
We realized just who you are
Down on your knees, you bleed it out
This type of believing

Ooh-woah-oh
Hold on, wait
We have had all we can take
You can keep the money
‘Cause all we need is el-oh-vee-ee, love
Ooh-woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
El-oh-vee-ee, love
Ooh-woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
El-oh-vee-ee, el-oh-vee-ee, love

You've got your mansion
You've got your minions
Protected privilege
But we've got love

You've got your black gold
You've got your pipeline
Capitalism
But we've got love
You've got reserve banks
With no reserves
You've got religion
Control the herds

You've got your slave trade
Of prostitution
You've got your green gods
But we’ve got love

Yes, we’ve got love
Yes, we’ve got love
Yes, we’ve got love, love, love

Ooh-woah-oh
Hold on, wait
We have had all we can take
You can keep the money
‘Cause all we need is el-oh-vee-ee, love
Ooh-woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
El-oh-vee-ee, love
Ooh-woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
El-oh-vee-ee, el-oh-vee-ee, love

Yes, we’ve got love
Yes, we’ve got love
Yes, we’ve got love
Yes, we’ve got love
Love, love, love, love, love

I wasn't made to understand
I've given up my name
Forgotten where I stand
Sometimes I don't know who I am
I used to feel so scared
I used to hold your hand

I'm so sick of playing favorites
Sick of being scared

They would rather see you all alone
Imaginary enemy
We are much less different than we know
Imaginary enemy
Imaginary enemy
I would never leave you all alone
Imaginary enemy

I will not ever understand
Just how it got this way
And how it got so bad
You're not a part of what we need
There is no common ground
We hate what you believe

I'm so sick of playing favorites
Sick of being scared

They would rather see you all alone
Imaginary enemy
We are much less different than we know
Imaginary enemy
Imaginary enemy
I would never leave you all alone
Imaginary enemy

Who taught me to hate you
When I don't even know you?
Who created the enemy?
Who taught me to hate you
When I don't even know you?
Who taught me to hate you, hate you, hate you?
Who created the enemy?
Who created…

They would rather see you all alone
Imaginary enemy
We are much less different than we know
Imaginary enemy
Imaginary enemy
I would never leave you all alone
Imaginary enemy

Who created the enemy?
Who created…

Does it start all at once
Or come as slow as can be?
It's not about you and me
And never mind what it costs
At least it's not make believe
We can get it for free

But to get love
You have got to give love
Somehow, I got your love
Was it meant to be?

Your love is my drug
I've overdosed
I'm right where I'm supposed to be, yeah
Your love is fatal
Planning an overdose
An overdose

Just like in the books
The voices spoke unto me
Words as clear as can be
They say: "no one can take it away
Nothing can come in between
You can't steal something that's free," yeah

But to get love
You have got to give love
Somehow, I got your love
Was it meant to be?

Your love is my drug
I've overdosed
I'm right where I'm supposed to be, yeah
Your love is fatal
Planning an overdose
An overdose

And in the end, I found peace
Don't know why you would choose me
And in the end, I found peace
My darling drug, you kill me

Don't think we're meant to go it alone
I could be wrong, but I'll wait and see
Get caught up when you're singing along
An overdose would come naturally
It might sound mean, but don't get me wrong
If I'm a slave, I don't wanna be free
I get fucked up when you sing along
An overdose would come naturally

Your love is my drug
I've overdosed
I'm right where I'm supposed to be, yeah
Your love is fatal
Planning an overdose
An overdose
Your love is my drug (Don't think we're meant to go it alone)
I've overdosed (I could be wrong, but I'll wait and see)
I'm right where I'm supposed to be, yeah (Get caught up when you're singing along)
Your love is fatal (An overdose would come naturally)
Planning an overdose (It might sound mean, but don't get me wrong)
An overdose (If I'm a slave, I don't wanna be free)
(An overdose would come naturally)

Off, off, off
Off like a prom dress
Off, off, off

So I met my little hunny bunny on last Easter Sunday
By 12 noon he was munchin’ on my brunch
Are you ready for dessert? Keep it cummin' up my skirt
Show me banana split, just keep lickin' on that shit

Let's just hit, no commitment
Get down on your knees

So get me off like a prom dress, let me feel you deep inside

Li-li-lickity quick, let's just hit no commit
I've been filling up my piggy bank, machete's getting dull I think
One dollar bill for the thrill down that roller coaster hill
These kids would kill for this life, this life full of speed
And the weed, emo kids cut and bleed
But we like to party, getting drunk off the Bacardi

So get me off like a prom dress, let me feel you deep inside
I can tell that you're excited and it’s something you can't hide
You on top of me, that's how its gonna be
Get me off like a prom dress tonight ('Cause it's only for one night)

Kickin' it out! (Out, out, out)

Your dream vacation
Is my hostage refuge
A work in progress
You bleed just like you puke while running a mile
I beg to differ
Make me an offer
Warm summer rain
You bleed just like you puke while running a mile
(Running a mile)

Hey, are you okay?
You look pretty low
Very handsome awkward
Do you feel okay?
You look pretty low
Very handsome awkward


Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Handsome awkward

Your market value
Your resurrection (Your resurrection)
Your shallow concept
Help yourself, I hope you choke and you die
I know you meant it
Nice fucking disguise, so hollow
Embrace the burn
You bleed just like you puke while running a mile

Hey, are you okay? (Okay?)
You look pretty low
Very handsome awkward

The way I broke your heart very literally
This ghost haunts me more than it should be
I'm not gonna walk away or turn my head in shame
I never thought it could kill me

A clean slate, one more day, further away

I want you, you don't want me
My mistake for wasting yours and mine
I want you, but will you stay
With me today? With me today?

Ch-ck-cha

Just let me make some time to take it back a little
The way you smile shines the heavens above me
(Heavens above me)
Never gonna let you go, I want you all the time
I gotta prove you can trust me

A clean slate, one more day, further away

I want you, you don't want me
My mistake for wasting yours and mine
I want you, but will you stay

Liar!

Liar, liar, pants on fire
And the pills go down and get you higher
Baby bottle's burning, motherfucker
And the mother hates him like the daughter
Lonely God and maker, gripping tighter
Saying you will burn in hell, they say
You will burn in hell

Liar, liar, pants on fire
Liar, liar, stop your soul from catching
Fire, fire, God and maker
Liar, liar, pants on fire

Liar, liar, house on fire
And the glass tastes messy, chew it louder
Bet your tummy hurts you, you motherfucker
Mother never loved you, father touched you
With the hand of God, he's gripping tighter
Saying you will burn in hell, they say (Burn in hell!)
You will burn in hell

Liar, liar, pants on fire
Liar, liar, stop your soul from catching
Fire, fire, God and maker
Liar, liar, you fucking liar!

Hahaha! Hahaha!
You're gonna burn in hell!
You're gonna burn in hell!
Hell! Hell! Hell! Hell! Hell! Hell!
You will burn in hell, they say
You will burn in hell (Fucking liar!)

Liar, liar, pants on fire
Liar, liar, stop your soul from catching
Fire, fire, God and maker
Liar, liar, you fucking liar
Liar, liar, pants on fire
Liar, liar, stop your soul from catching
Fire, fire, God and maker
Liar, liar, you fucking liar

You Fucking Liar!
Liar, liar! (You fucking liar!)
Liar, liar! (You fucking liar!)
Liar, liar! (You fucking liar!)
Liar, liar, pants on fire
Hanging from a telephone wire

Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave
Without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change, the less you feel

Believe, believe in me
Believe, believe

That life can change, that you're not stuck in vain
We're not the same, we're different
Tonight
Tonight, tonight, so bright
Tonight
Tonight

And you know you're never sure
But you're sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade
In your city by the lake
The place where you were born

Believe, believe in me
Believe, believe

In the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there's not a chance
Tonight
Tonight, tonight, so bright
Tonight
Tonight

We'll crucify the insincere tonight (Tonight)
We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight (Tonight)
We'll find a way to offer up the night (Tonight)
The indescribable moments of your life (Tonight)
The impossible is possible tonight (Tonight)
Believe in me as I believe in you

Tonight
Tonight, tonight
Tonight
Tonight

The world is a vampire
Sent to drain
Secret destroyers
Hold you up to the flames
And what do I get
For my pain?
Betrayed desires
And a piece of the game

Even though I know
I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold
Like ol' Job

Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage
Someone will say, "What is lost can never be saved"
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage

Now I'm naked
Nothing but an animal
But can you fake it
For just one more show?
And what do you want?
I wanna change
And what do you got!
When you feel the same?

Even though I know
I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold
Like ol' Job

Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say, "What is lost can never be saved"
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage!

Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was an only son, yeah
Tell me I'm the chosen one
Jesus was an only son, for you

Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage
And someone will say, "What is lost can never be saved"
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage!

Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a…
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a…
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage

Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was an only son, for you

And I still believe that I cannot be saved
And I still believe that I cannot be saved
And I still believe that I cannot be saved
And I still believe that I cannot be saved

Ain't it funny
How we pretend we're still a child
Softly stolen
Under our blanket skies

And rescue me from me
And all that I believe

I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should I fall from grace, here with you
Will you leave me too?

Carve out your heart
For keeps in an old oak tree
And hold me for goodbyes
And whispered lullabies

And tell me I am still
The man I'm supposed to be

I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should I fall from grace, here with you
Will you leave me too?
Will you leave me too?

Too late to turn back now, I'm runnin' out of sound
And I am changin', changin'
And if we died right now, this fool you love somehow
Is here with you

I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should I fall from grace, here with you
Would you leave me too?
Would you leave me too?

One is for envy and one just for spite
The cuts in my heart, they show in your eyes
Don't make it better, the twisting knife turns all by itself
Move on to someone else

Your self-liberation will leave this behind
Beyond slings and arrows that rain on our minds
You'll make it better, shake it off
It never mattered anyway

If we don't make it alive
Well, it's a hell of a good day to die
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long
And it's ashes to ashes again
Should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long

The banner you're waving is burning and red
It's blocking the sunlight that shines overhead
You against the world, diamonds and pearls
Voices inside you churn, watch the city burn

Your own liberation will leave them behind
All the slings and arrows that rain on your mind
Don't make it better, break it 'cause
It never mattered anyway

If we don't make it alive
Well, it's a hell of a good day to die
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long
And it's ashes to ashes again
Should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long

I... won't... calm... down...
The banner you're waving
Is burning and red
You against the world, diamonds and pearls
It never mattered, mattered, mattered
Anyway

If we don't make it alive
Well, it's a hell of a good day to die
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long
And it's ashes to ashes again
Should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long

I am the one, your help I've refused
You're offering hand just set off the fuse
I am the rock that pushes away
I gave up tomorrow to spite today and
Too proud to beg, too stubborn to try
I'd look in your face and spit in your eye
But I'm willing to find what's really inside
And show I am strong enough to

Trust in you
Trust in you
Trust in you
Pull me up
Quo modo, shadow to light
Quo modo‚ shadow to light
Quo modo‚ pull me up
Pull me up
'Cause I am ready

I am the one who blames only you
The flame in my eyes now blackens my view
I am the one who wanders alone
Darkness inside blocks how you've shone
Who tied the other end of my rope?
I want to move on, I want to have hope
So I'm willing to change, I'm going to try
To show I am strong enough to

Trust in you
Trust in you
Trust in you
Pull me up
Quo modo‚ shadow to light
Quo modo‚ shadow to light
Quo modo‚ pull me up
Pull me up
'Cause I am waiting

Strong enough to trust in you
Trust in you
Trust in you
Pull me up
Quo modo‚ shadow to light
Quo modo‚ shadow to light
Quo modo‚ pull me up
Pull me up
'Cause I am ready

Show me how to lie, you're getting better all the time
And turning all against the one is an art that's hard to teach
Another clever word sets off an unsuspecting herd
And as you step back in the line, a mob jumps to their feet

Now dance, fucker, dance, man, he never had a chance
And no one even knew it was really only you
And now you steal away, take him out today
Nice work you did, you're gonna go far, kid

With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives

Slowly outta line and drifting closer in your sight
So play it out, I'm wide-awake, it's a scene about me
There's something in your way and now someone is gonna pay
And if you can't get what you want, well, it's all because of me

Now dance, fucker, dance, man, I never had a chance
And no one even knew it was really only you
And now you lead the way, show the light of day
Nice work you did, you're gonna go far, kid (Trust deceived)

With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives

Now dance, fucker, dance, he never had a chance
And no one even knew it was really only you
And so dance, fucker, dance, I never had a chance
It was really only you

With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives
Clever alibis, Lord of the Flies
Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives

I am the one, camouflage and guns
Risk my life to keep my people from harm
Authority vested in me
I sacrifice with my brothers in arms

Through this doorway, what's on the other side?
Never knowin' exactly what I'll find
Locked and loaded, voices screaming "Let's go!"
Come on, do it, here we go!

(Oh) I'll take a life that others may live
Oh, that's just the way it goes
(Oh) I'll shut my eyes, it hammers in my head
Where it'll end, nobody knows
(Oh) I'll take a life, ten others may live
Oh, that's just the way it goes
(Oh) It's playing over and over in my head
Where it'll end, nobody knows

Stay the course, reasonable force
I believe I serve a greater good
Smoke and dust, enemies are crushed
Nothing left where a man once stood

Through this doorway, what's on the other side?
Never knowin' exactly what I'll find
Locked and loaded, voices screaming "Let's go!"
But I'm just doing what I'm told

(Oh) I'll take a life that others may live
Oh, that's just the way it goes
(Oh) I'll shut my eyes, it hammers in my head
Where it'll end, nobody knows
(Oh) I'll take a life, ten others may live
Oh, that's just the way it goes
(Oh) It's playing over and over in my head
Where it begins and where it'll end, nobody knows

Hey, go!
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Bang, bang, it hammers in my head
Bang, bang, it hammers in my head
Bang, bang, it hammers in my head
In my head, in my head

Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I fear no evil for thou art with me
Locked and loaded, gonna find my truth now
I'm busting through, all hell breaks loose, and-a
(Woo-hoo!) And you can all hide behind your desks now
(Woo-hoo!) And you can cry, "Teacher, come help me!"
(Woo-hoo!) Through you all, my aim is true
My

(Woo-hoo!)
(Woo-hoo!) My aim is true
(Woo-hoo!)
My aim is true

How does it feel
When you have it all?
How can you live
With nothing at all?
Where do you run?
Where do you go?
The holes in your truth
Are starting to show

And the rain comes
And the world is on my head
Crave the sun
But I can't get out of bed

How can you take
Without giving back?
How does it work
When it's really cracked?
How does it feel?
(And no wonder hearts and minds have been won)
How does it feel?
(And I wonder how it's all come undone)

And the rain comes
And the world is on my head
Crave the sun
But I can't get out of bed

Want it, you got it, you're sorry you bought it, you're sliding (Sliding)
Want it, you got it, you're sorry you bought it, can't hide it
Tell me who do you see?
’Cause you look a lot like me

How can you take
Without giving back?
Who do you see?
’Cause you look a lot like me

Want it, you got it, you're sorry you bought it, you're sliding (Sliding)
Want it, you got it, you're sorry you bought it, can't hide it (Hide it)
Want it, you got it, you're sorry you bought it, you're sliding (Sliding)
Want it, you got it, you're sorry you bought it, can't hide it

And the rain comes
And the world is on my head
Crave the sun
But I can't get out of bed

Want it, you got it, you're sorry you bought it, you're sliding (Sliding)
Want it, you got it, you're sorry you bought it, can't hide it
Tell me who do you see?
’Cause you look a lot like me

You look a lot like me
You look a lot
You look a lot like me, ooh
You look a lot like me, ooh
You look a lot like me, ooh
You look a lot like me, ooh
You look a lot like me, ooh
You look a lot like me, ooh

When the day begins, all the guilt sinks in
And I look on the wreckage of the night
Though I try to break free, the cycle breaks me
Am I ever gonna see the light?
All the friends I've lost and the pain I've caused
Have never been enough just to make me stop
The lines I draw to look at myself
Are turning into somebody else

I know how this will end
But, I'm starting up again
Turned around, inside out
'Cause this way

Takes me nowhere (I can't, can't see a way out)
Takes me nowhere (I can't, can't see a way out)
Takes me nowhere (I can't, can't see a way out)
It beats me up
When I go there (I know I could start again)
When I go there (Oh no, here we go again)
Takes me nowhere (Oh no, here we go again)
It beats me up

Open on this scene, a familiar dream
Of you telling me what I already know
Though the truth seems near, you can't get there from here
But, you sure know where you're gonna go
As the rumor wind blows, my infamy grows
Seein' friends above and I hit another low
The picture I paint to look at myself
Is turning into somebody else

I know how this will end
But, I'm starting up again
Turned around, inside out
'Cause this way

Takes me nowhere (I can't, can't see a way out)
Takes me nowhere (I can't, can't see a way out)
Takes me nowhere (I can't, can't see a way out)
It beats me up
When I go there (I know I could start again)
When I go there (Oh no, here we go again)
Takes me nowhere (Oh no, here we go again)
It beats me up

Ah, ah

But, today, if I change
And stop digging my own grave
I will try to set things right
'Cause this way

Takes me nowhere (I can't, can't see a way out)
Takes me nowhere (I can't, can't see a way out)
Takes me nowhere (I can't, can't see a way out)
It beats me up
When I go there (I know I could start again)
When I go there (Oh no, here we go again)
Takes me nowhere (Oh no, here we go again)
It beats me up

Up

There's a moment in time, and it's stuck in my mind
Way back, when we were just kids
’Cause your eyes told the tale of an act of betrayal
I knew that somebody did

Oh, waves of time
Seem to wash away the scenes of our crimes
For you, this never ends

Can you stay strong? Can you go on?
Kristy, are you doing okay?
A rose that won't bloom, winter's kept you
Don't waste your whole life trying to get back what was taken away

Though the marks on your dress had been neatly repressed
I knew that something was wrong
And I should've spoke out, and I'm so sorry now
I didn't know, ’cause we were so young

Oh, clouds of time
Seem to rain on innocence left behind
It never goes away

Can you stay strong? Can you go on?
Kristy, are you doing okay?
A rose that won't bloom, winter's kept you
Don't waste your whole life trying to get back what was taken away

Oh, clouds of time
Seem to rain on innocence left behind
It never goes away
It never goes away

Can you stay strong? Can you go on?
Kristy, are you doing okay?
A rose that won't bloom, winter's kept you
Don't waste your whole life trying to get back what was taken away
Don't waste your whole life trying to get back what was taken away

Let's make this complicated
Thinking is overrated
We're busting out of this shitty little town, and
Green grass and colored lenses
Tear down these picket fences
Burn in our beds while the city lies sleeping

Why, oh, why
Are we starting up and going down?
And my, oh, my
Just the two of us in Nothingtown
Our superhero play
We'll leave this town today
Hold on tighter, with my lighter shining through

These city streets are burning
Rose red, your wheels are turning
Make me believe someday we could really leave, and
Blindfold a new direction
Stop asking better questions
Don't figure out that we're never getting out, and

Why, oh, why
Are we starting up and going down?
And my, oh, my
Just the two of us in Nothingtown
Our superhero play
We'll leave this town today
And I'll row it if you steer it
I'll yell until you hear it
Hold on tighter, with my lighter shining through

Why, oh, why
Are we starting up and going down?
And my, oh, my
Just the two of us in Nothingtown
Our superhero play
Our dreams get in the way
And I'll row it if you steer it
I'll yell until you hear it
Hold on tighter, with my lighter shining through

Still stuck in Nothingtown
Still stuck in Nothingtown
Come on, let's go

Now, I don't know, and it's hard to explain
But it seems like things are just kind of insane
Because the world is crying, but nobody's listening
So, please leave a message on my cell phone
I see bullets getting better, biblical weather
And that guy on TV is, like, a total asshole
Who are you wearing tonight?
Celebrity fundraiser, tight
Black ties making wrongs right
How's your social Band-Aid?

I don't know much, I don't know too much
But I know this: shit is fucked up

I guess it's all about the dream
The ends justify the means
I'm telling you, shit is fucked up
You know it's all about the dream
The ends justify the means

Now, thank God for the media for saving the day
Putting it all into perspective in a responsible way
With more celebrity news, typical bullshit views
I think we're losing this fight sponsored by Bud Light
And now, we're rocking the casbah and taking the flak
The genie's out of the bottle, and we can't put it back
All this stuff, it's overwhelming my brain
Can you see the storm coming? It's coming this way

I don't know much, I don't know too much
But I know this: shit is fucked up

I guess it's all about the dream
The ends justify the means
I'm telling you, shit is fucked up
You know it's all about the dream
The ends justify the means
Justify the means

Shopping sprees, RPGs, ecstasy, atrophy
Genocide, Pimp My Ride, politize, euphemize
Injustice everywhere, apathy, I don't care
Hurricanes, climate change, huh
Therapy, I won't tell, rehab and LOL
Worldwide calamity, TV reality
Euthanize, supersize, death squads and boob jobs
And VIP infamy, gratify instantly

I don't know much, I don't know too much
I don't know much, I don't know too much

I guess it's all about the dream
The ends justify the means
I'm telling you, shit is fucked up
You know it's all about the dream
The ends justify the means
The means, the means

Sag, wer hat wieder Bock aufn Beat? Schreibt keinen Text
Steppt an das Mic, rappt ein, klingt fresh, heh?
Cro (Cro), Cro (Cro), Cro (Cro)
Cro (Cro), Cro (Cro), Cro (Cro), Cro

Geht nach ein, zwei Tapes direkt in die Charts, heh?

Wieder mal ein Jahr und wieder mal ein Datum, wieder mal Erwartung'n übertroff'n
Wieder mal ein Jahr vorbei und wieder mal war niemand von den andern da, um den Typ zu stoppen
Hah, nein, ich denk' nicht nach, immer noch broke, keinen Cent gespart
Keinen Benz am Start, keinen Bentley da, aber wenn das hier so weiter geht, dann bin ich ungefähr (Hmm)
Nächstes Jahr ultrareich, doch ich gebe immer noch 'n Fick auf Zahl'n
Würde niemals irgendwelche Dinge dafür machen oder Sachen dafür sagen, die mir nicht gefall'n
Ey, lass mich raus, wache auf, Maske auf
Passt genau, Superheld, ich komm' in deine Gegend, alle rasten aus
Denn er ist der Junge, der die Dinge einfach sagt wie sie sind und er nimmt nie 'n Blatt vor den Mund
Und alle, die mir immer noch im Weg steh'n machen nach genau dem Track Platz wie'n Hund
Tja, und das hat ein' Grund, was für Rap? Das ist Kunst
Lass' es bunt, mach' es rund und bitte sag mir, wer hat

Bock aufn Beat? Schreibt keinen Text

Heh! Ich schüttel' alle meine Texte, jeden meiner Sätze locker ausm Handgelenk
Keiner von euch kann sich vorstell'n, was wohl wär', hätt' er sich angestrengt
Ha! Nicht auszudenken, hab' keine Lust, nach Haus zu trampen
Pack' zack-zack mein'n Stuff und verlass' dein'n Club dann knapp auf tausend Händen
Skibbi-dibby-dib-dib-badab-bab und Savas fragt: „Was hier'n los?“
Wieder mal erwischt mit der Sekretärin: „Ey, wir kopier'n bloß!“
Heh, langsam wird es eng, alle meine Fans haben Angst und renn'n
Denn ich werfe 'ne Granate in die Menge, nur mal eben, um zu gucken, ob sie Bruno für dich wirklich fäng'n (Uhh)
Und das Haus hier brennt, wenn du diesen Jungen immer noch nicht kennst
Nix verpennt, geht erst los, Album hier, es wird groß
Und das hat'n Grund, was für Rap? Das ist Kunst
Lass' es bunt, mach' es rund, nicht mehr feil'n, passt schon, Punkt!

Yeah, ah!

Wer ist der Typ mit der Maske?
Der nicht überlegt, sondern einfach ma' machte?
Wer ist der Coolste im Game?
Und tut's für dich und nicht für den Fame?
Denn er gibt 'n Fick auf Majors
Aber macht trotzdem Paper
Und noch 'n Gruß an die Hater
Denn ich bin ab heute euer King of Raop
Raop, Raop, Raop

Und plötzlich macht dir das Rapding Fun, ist echt entspannt
Denn der Typ macht das, was der Rest nicht kann
Und du bist längst im Bann
Aber wart ma', der Track fängt doch jetzt erst an
Trotzdem bist du schon längst gefang'n
Willst nie wieder weg, sondern hängst dich an
Und du denkst: „Oh Mann, bitte streng dich an
Denn du bist die letze Hoffnung.“, doch ich denk' nicht dran
Haha, okay, Mikrocheck
Ich werd' grad erst warm, aber klingt schon fett (schon fett)
Sie sagen: „Cro macht das Ding komplett
Denn er singt und rappt.“, ey, du spinnst komplett
Was soll ich sagen? Mann, ich bin kein Mac
Kein Pimp, kein Chef, deshalb klingt es nett
Denn ich bin, wie ich bin und nicht seit jetzt
Nein im Ernst, dieser Typ war als Kind schon fresh
Und ab heut nie mehr ein Problem
Yeah, alles okay, R-A-O-P
Ist egal, welcher Stern grad wo steht
Wer, was, wo, wen? Scheiß drauf, Cro geht
Wieder voran und hat das Land hinter sich
Und du sagst, da geht mehr, Mann, das langt dir noch nicht
Aber wart ma', Kumpel, ganz unterm Strich
Ist alles ziemlich cool, drum bedanke ich mich

Yeah! Wer ist der Typ mit der Maske?
Der nicht überlegt, sondern einfach ma' machte?
Wer ist der Coolste im Game?
Und tut's für dich und nicht für den Fame?
Denn er gibt 'n Fick auf Majors
Aber macht trotzdem Paper
Und noch 'n Gruß an die Hater
Denn ich bin ab heute euer King of Raop
Raop, Raop, Raop

Keine Angst, denn ich bleib' wie ich bin (bleib' wie ich bin)
Und tief in mir drin bin ich eigentlich 'n Kind
Ich rapp' smooth und verleih' dem Ding
Gleich 'nen Swing, der einfach klingt
Kein Held, doch vielleicht ein King
Denn ich weiß, wohin, und zurzeit geht Wind
Also schreibt: „Er spinnt.“, doch ich weiß, ich gewinn'
Denn egal was kommt, Mann, ich bleib' ein Chim-
perator, scheiß auf Majors
Und scheiß auf Hater
Nein, ich steig' in die Blazer
Bin nur'n Kid mit'm bisschen Gold und Pager
Ha, und mehr Style als die Coolkids
Fly und 'n Schuhtick, nein es ist zu sick
Sie sagen: „Cro, ey uns reicht diese Juice nicht
Komm, erzähl was von dir und zeig uns, wer du bist.“

Yeah! Wer ist der Typ mit der Maske?
Der nicht überlegt, sondern einfach ma' machte?
Wer ist der Coolste im Game?
Und tut's für dich und nicht für den Fame?
Denn er gibt 'n Fick auf Majors
Aber macht trotzdem Paper
Und noch 'n Gruß an die Hater
Denn ich bin ab heute euer King of Raop
Raop, Raop, Raop

Easy, ea-, ea-; ea-, ea-
Easy, ea-, ea-; ea-, ea-

Leute sagen zu mir „Cro das Genie“, denn er flowt wieder wie
Dieser Hova und außerdem baut er die Beats, es ist easy, ea-, ea-; ea-, ea-
Und dieser Typ hier vergleicht sich mit Jay-Z und scheißt auf die Playsi
Denn ich häng' ab mit Rockstars, genauso wie AC—DC, ea-, ea-, ea-, ea-
Yeah! Ich chill' im Bett mit 'ner Chick, die sieht aus wie die Sis von Beyoncé
Ey, doch eigentlich, ey, geb' ich 'n Fick auf Frauen wie Eazy-E; ea-, ea-
Eh! Okay, das mit den Chicks tut mir leid, es war nicht so gemeint
Kannst du mir noch mal verzeih'n, Ina? Und sie schreit: „Ich heiß' Isi.“, ea-, ea-; ea-, ea-
Doch wenn Sie plötzlich so'n kleines Ding zeigt, du eigentlich schon weißt
Der zweite Strich heißt, es ist aus und vorbei, bleib easy, ea-, ea-; ea-, ea-
Yeah, und wenn sie heiraten will und nach drei Tagen chill'n
Schon dein ganzes Haus und deinen Leihwagen will, erschieß sie, ea-, ea-; ea-, ea-
Yeah! Doch das würd ich mich nicht trau'n, Mann, das weiß ich genau
Denn davor hau' ich ab und sing' „Runaway“ wie Kanyeezy, ea-, ea-; ea-, ea-
Eh, und dann lauf' ich und lauf' ich, wohin ist noch offen
Am besten nur weit, weit weg, vielleicht Washington DC, ea-, ea-; ea-, ea-
Yeah, und diese Frau war verrückt, denn sie hat mich erdrückt
Schreit, „Cro, komm zurück!“, doch ich schlüpf' grad in die Air Yeezy und verließ sie
Und mach' den iPod an, und alles, was ich hör', ist:

Sunny, ehh
Ich weiß schon, du heißt Isi, aber ist mir egal
Ich nenn' dich lieber Sunny, ehh
Ab jetzt wird alles easy, denn du bist nicht mehr da, ehh
Sunny, ehh
Ich weiß schon, du heißt Isi, aber ist mir egal
Ich nenn' dich lieber Sunny, ehh
Ab jetzt wird alles easy, denn du bist nicht mehr da, ehh

Easy, ea-, ea-; ea-, ea-
Easy, ea-, ea-; ea-, ea-

Wir sind beschäftigt, jeden Tag in Hektik
Wir haben keine Zeit, sorry, ich kann echt nich'
Is' alles hässlich, lästig, stresst dich
Doch ich hätt' es gern wieder zurück, wenn es weg is'
Wir häng' in Bars rum, hier und da Bespaßung
Schließen uns're Augen und schon wieder is' ein Jahr um
Erzähl'n Geschichten, werfen ständig unser'n Plan um
Doch alles bleibt gleich, bis auf das Datum
Wir feiern Partys, keine Sorgen, aber Frauen
Denn wir kiffen, saufen, rauchen, doch hör'n morgen damit auf
Und so geht es jedes Mal, jeden Tag
Bis dann irgendwann ne' Stimme zu dir sagt:

Diese Welt is' geil
Denn ich hab' alles, was ich brauch'
Und nein, ich will hier nie wieder raus
Solange ich hier bin, mach' ich das Beste draus
Diese Welt is' geil
Denn ich hab' alles, was ich brauch'
Und nein, ich will hier nie wieder raus
Solange ich hier bin, mach' ich das Beste draus

Okay, zurück zu meinem Tagesablauf
Ich bin oft tagelang blau, komm dann zurück in meine Wohnung
Bekomm Panik und lauf', ich such seit Jahren ne' Frau
Doch keine da, die mich braucht, geh auf die Stage, laber Quatsch und krieg dafür Applaus
Yeah, ich bin nich' bei Raab im TV
Und mach seit Jahren 'n Album, doch keiner wartet darauf
Hab' den Vertrag nur geklaut, aber sag es ja nicht dem Baus
Denn ich hab den Vorschuss leider noch am selben Abend verraucht
Und ja ich weiß, es könnte wirklich immer schlimmer sein
Doch ich nehm' Probleme und sperr' sie in mein Zimmer ein
Egal, was heute geht, ich denk nich' nach, ich bin dabei
Denn ich hör 'ne Stimme und sie schreit:

Diese Welt is' geil
Denn ich hab' alles, was ich brauch'
Und nein, ich will hier nie wieder raus
Solange ich hier bin, mach' ich das Beste draus
Diese Welt is' geil
Denn ich hab' alles, was ich brauch'
Und nein, ich will hier nie wieder raus
Solange ich hier bin, mach' ich das Beste draus

Manchmal denk ich, wie's wohl wär'
Wenn ich nich' wär', wer ich bin
Aber kein Mensch steht mir so gut wie ich
Und deshalb bleib ich wie ich bin!

Mir liegt die Welt zu Füssen, denn ich bin ein Superstar
Bin immer schlecht gelaunt, bin arrogant und gut bezahlt
Doch bin ich dann mal ziemlich nett, will ich nur mit dir ins Bett
Und bin sofort wieder weg, weg, weg..
Ich hab' nie für dich Zeit, schreib' dir nie zurück
Bin nie verliebt, ständig breit, denn ich schnief mein Glück
Mir wird zu ziemlich alles vorgelegt, grad wenn es um Mode geht
Hab' ich 10 Berater, die mir sagen, meine Hose steht mir
Exzellent und erst recht das Hemd
Diese Farbe ist der Wahnsinn und demnächst im Trend
Ey und geht es um Frauen, dann bin ich der King
Lebe den Traum, will niemals 'n Kind
Gebe viel aus und leb' in 'nem Haus
Bin jeden Tag blau und irgendwann blind
Und wenn ich's nich' hab, dann gib' es mir her
Und wenn ich's dann hab, dann will ich noch mehr
Dann will ich noch mehr, dann will ich noch mehr
Dann will ich, dann will ich, dann will ich

Und plötzlich merk' ich, diese Welt is' nix für mich
Geh' von der Bühne, werf' die Maske in die Ecke und bin ich
Yeah!

Manchmal denk ich, wie's wohl wär'
Wenn ich nich' wär', wer ich bin
Aber kein Mensch steht mir so gut wie ich
Und deshalb bleib ich wie ich bin!
Manchmal denk ich, wie's wohl wär'
Wenn ich nich' wär', wer ich bin
Aber kein Mensch steht mir so gut wie ich
Und deshalb bleib ich wie ich bin!

Ich setz' die Maske ab und lauf' durch den Club, doch
Keiner schaut, kein Applaus, keiner guckt, denn
Hier bin ich Carlo und keiner wirft den Arm hoch
Und keiner sagt mir Hallo, jap, denn keiner hat 'ne Ahnung
Hey und geht es um Frauen, dann bin ich 'ne Niete
Lebe den Traum, doch immer noch Miese
Jeder Tag grau, doch reg' mich nich' auf
Hab weder 'n Haus, noch hab ich die Miete
Leb' von Applaus, ernähr' mich von Liebe
Steh' wieder auf, bin grad in 'ner Krise
Da geb' ich nich' auf, da geb' ich nich auf, da geb' ich nich'

Und plötzlich merk' ich, diese Welt is' nix für mich
Ich setz' die Maske ins Gesicht, geh' auf die Bühne
Und bin ich! Yeah!

Manchmal denk ich, wie's wohl wär'
Wenn ich nich' wär', wer ich bin
Aber kein Mensch steht mir so gut wie ich
Und deshalb bleib ich wie ich bin!
Manchmal denk ich, wie's wohl wär'
Wenn ich nich' wär', wer ich bin
Aber kein Mensch steht mir so gut wie ich
Und deshalb bleib ich wie ich bin!

Yeah, guck, es war 2006
Doch kommt mir vor, als ob es gestern war
Denn ich stand auf dem Pausenhof und wollte deine Hefte tragen
Ich hatt' den besten Plan, doch du hast mich nicht mal beachtet
Und anstatt mit mir zu reden bei 'nem Kumpel übernachtet
Klar, sicherlich, Baby komm, ich bitte dich
Ich geb' dir meine Liebe, doch du drehst dich um und willst sie nicht
Jap und heute stehst du in der ersten Reihe, würdest gerne mit mir reden
Aber Baby, dis vorbei, denn

Nie mehr
Komm' ich wieder zurück? (eh-eh)
Nie mehr
Ich will dich nie mehr wiederseh'n
Mach es gut, viel Glück
Bye Bye, doch bitte, bitte, bitte bleib' wie du bist!

Es war 2006, doch kommt mir vor, als ob es gestern war
Denn sie erwischt mich jeden Tag, wie ich in meine Hefte mal'
Und gibt mir dafür Strafarbeiten, total in Rage sagt die Frau
Dass solche naseweisen Bengel auf der Straße bleiben
Jeden Tag Eintrag, Nachsitzen Freitags
Gibt mir 30 Seiten und begibt sich auf die Heimfahrt
Vielen Dank für diese wunderschöne Zeit
Nein, ich werd' sie nich' vergessen, doch so langsam bin ich reif
Und ich schnappe meinen Beutel und verlasse das Gebäude
Mit 'nem dicken fetten Smile und singe nur dabei

Nie mehr
Komm' ich wieder zurück? (eh-eh)
Nie mehr
Ich will dich nie mehr wiederseh'n
Mach es gut, viel Glück
Bye Bye, doch bitte, bitte, bitte bleib' wie du bist!

Was? Ne, ich fang' jetzt nicht nochmal gleich an
Wär' ja total langweilig!

Es is' 2005, als ob es gestern wär'
Und weit entfernt von Liebe, doch bereit für den Geschlechtsverkehr
Ich guck' sie an und sag: "Ich hab es nie gemacht!"
Sie nimmt meine Hand und sagt: "es tut nicht weh
Also lehn dich zurück" und hat gelacht
Und plötzlich spür' ich das beste Gefühl meines Lebens
Und fühl' mich, als würde ich über ihr schweben
Das Licht wurde heller, sie sieht, mir gefällt es
Dann nahm sie die Zügel und wurde noch schneller und...
Jetzt bin ich ein richtiger Mann
Ich seh', sie grinst und hör', wie meine Unschuld singt:

Nie mehr
Komm' ich wieder zurück? (eh-eh)
Nie mehr
Ich will dich nie mehr wiederseh'n
Mach es gut, viel Glück
Bye Bye, doch bitte, bitte, bitte bleib' wie du bist!
Nie mehr
Komm' ich wieder zurück
Nie mehr
Ich will dich nie mehr wiederseh'n
Mach es gut, viel Glück
Bye Bye, doch bitte, bitte, bitte bleib' wie du bist!

Es ist Sommer, irgendwo am Meer
Alles cool, denn die Sorgen liegen fern
Yeah, so als wärst du 'n Stern
Wir schauen hoch, wollen das Universum erklär'n
Aber kein Plan, was da oben passiert
Wo geht es los und wieso sind wir hier, huh?
Yeah, ist mir eigentlich egal
Wir haben keine Wahl und bleiben einfach da
Und halten uns an Regeln
Und haben One-Night-Stands, doch sie macht es nicht mit jedem
Ist klar, auf jeden, das kann ich schon versteh'n
Wir schicken SMS, denn wir haben kein'n Bock zu reden
Und kein Plan, was du ernsthaft brauchst
Komm drück auf „Like“, sie gefällt dir doch auch
Die größten Fehler machen wir für Geld oder Frauen
Ist okay, doch ich hoff' nur du lernst was daraus, denn—

Jeder Tag, yeah
Könnte dein letzter sein
Drum, wenn du irgendjemand magst, yeah
Sag es am Besten gleich
Jeder Tag, yeah
Könnte dein letzter sein
Drum, wenn du irgendjemand magst, yeah
Sag es am Besten gleich

Yeah, ah
Ich zähl' die Striche an der Wand
Und bemerk, ich hab es nicht mehr in der Hand, yeah
Und all die Lieder waren für Lau
Denn aus Lila wurde blau und die Bilder werden grau
Yeah, ich weiß, du kennst mich nicht
Doch irgendwas in mir drin sagt, du denkst wie ich, yeah, ah
Und ich komme wie in Trance
Gib mir eine Chance, ich verschwend' sie nicht, nein
Und heute bin ich Tage nicht zuhaus
Vermisse meine Fam, meine Mum und das Haus
Und meine Gang, sie fahren wieder raus
Gehen an den See, ich bade in Applaus
Die Dinge kommen schneller, als du rennst
Und sind schon wieder weg, bevor du bremst
Bevor du dieses Leben hier verpennst
Will ich, dass du weißt und immer daran denkst

Jeder Tag, yeah
Könnte dein letzter sein
Drum, wenn du irgendjemand magst, yeah
Sag es am Besten gleich
Jeder Tag, yeah
Könnte dein letzter sein
Drum, wenn du irgendjemand magst, yeah
Sag es am Besten gleich

One, two, one, two, three, four

Baby, bitte mach dir nie mehr Sorgen um Geld
Gib mir nur deine Hand, ich kauf' dir morgen die Welt
Egal, wohin du willst, wir fliegen um die Welt
Hau'n sofort wieder ab, wenn es dir hier nicht gefällt

Ost, West oder Nord, hab' den Jackpot an Bord
Will von hier über London direkt nach New York
Denn ab heute leb' ich jeden Tag, als ob ich morgen tot wäre
Laufe durch den Park und werf' mit Geld, als ob es Brot wäre (Yeah)
Nur noch Kaviar, Champagner oder Schampus
Baby, ich erfüll' dir wirklich jeden Wunsch mit Handkuss
Frühstück in Paris und danach joggen auf Hawaii
Und um das Ganze noch zu toppen, geh'n wir shoppen in L.A. (Wouh)
Also pack dir deine Zahnbürste ein
Denn ab heute bist du mehr als an nur einem Ort daheim
Mit meinem Babe in der Hand und 'nem Safe an der Wand
Könn'n wir tun, was wir woll'n, und das Leben ist noch lang, also komm

Baby, bitte mach dir nie mehr Sorgen um Geld
Gib mir nur deine Hand, ich kauf' dir morgen die Welt
Egal, wohin du willst, wir fliegen um die Welt
Hau'n sofort wieder ab, wenn es dir hier nicht gefällt (Ah)

Sie will Kreditkarten und meinen Mietwagen
Sie will Designerschuhe und davon ganz schön viel haben
Manolo Blahnik, Prada, Gucci und Lacoste
Kein Problem, dann kauf' ich halt für deine Schuhe gleich ein ganzes Schloss
Sie will in Geld baden, und sie will Pelz tragen
Und sie will schnell fahren, einmal um die Welt fahr'n
Sie kann sich kaufen, was sie wollte, doch nie hatte
Denn ich hab' jetzt die American Express, und zwar die schwarze, also komm

Baby, bitte mach dir nie mehr Sorgen um Geld
Gib mir nur deine Hand, ich kauf' dir morgen die Welt
Egal, wohin du willst, wir fliegen um die Welt
Hau'n sofort wieder ab, wenn es dir hier nicht gefällt
Baby, bitte mach dir nie mehr Sorgen um Geld
Gib mir nur deine Hand, ich kauf' dir morgen die Welt
Egal, wohin du willst, wir fliegen um die Welt
Hau'n sofort wieder ab, wenn es dir hier nicht gefällt

(Na-na-na-na-na-na) Ja, yeah
(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da) Okay
(Da-da-da-da-da-da, da, da, da) Baby, du weißt Bescheid
(Na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na) Komm einfach vorbei oder ruf mich an
(Na, na, na, na) Kein Ding
Nur wir zwei (Na-na)
Einmal um die Welt (Na-na, na-na)
Aha, okay (Na-na), hehe (Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na)

Wenn sich morgen unsre Welt nicht mehr dreht
Die Sonne nicht mehr scheint
Gibt es kein'n Grund zu wein'n, nein
Denn wir war'n hier, wir war'n hier

Das Leben ist 'n Spiel, wir habn's schon lang gewonnen
Denn wir sind vor Millionen anderen Trotteln angekommen
Ich bin hier und jetzt kann kommen, was will
Denn ich bin sowas wie ein Held in meinem Hollywoodfilm
Jaja, das Leben ist schön, doch wird noch schöner danach
Verdammt, wir werden mal Stars an dem Tag, an dem sich

Unsre Welt nicht mehr dreht
Die Sonne nicht mehr scheint
Gibt es kein'n Grund zu wein'n, nein
Denn wir war'n hier, wir war'n hier

Ich geh nicht ran, wenn mich der Ernst des Lebens einmal anruft
Nein, ich bin im Club und tanz' den Lena Meyer-Landrut
Und Mutti meint, ich soll die Schule beenden
Und an To-do-Listen denken, und nicht die Jugend verschwenden
Jaja, ich weiß, dass nichts auf dieser Welt für immer bleibt
Doch zum Glück ist noch 'ne ganze Menge Zeit, bis sich

Unsre Welt nicht mehr dreht
Die Sonne nicht mehr scheint
Gibt es kein'n Grund zu wein'n, nein
Denn wir war'n hier, wir war'n hier

Und das ist mehr Wert als der reinste Diamant
Nimm den Meißel in die Hand und schreib' es in die Wand
Schreib, „Wir war'n hier, wir war'n hier
Wir war'n hier, ganz egal, ob sich morgen …“

Unsre Welt nicht mehr dreht
Die Sonne nicht mehr scheint
Gibt es kein'n Grund zu wein'n, nein
Denn wir war'n hier, wir war'n hier
Wir waren hier, wir waren hier
