"Ladies & Gentlemen,
|
just so we understand each other:
|
in my right hand I have a gun,
|
so let's not have any problems, ai?"
|
|
You don't know where you're going,
|
you don't know where you've been.
|
You don't know why
|
but your life is a lie,
|
it goes by like a dream.
|
You're stuck in this rat race,
|
your job drives you insane.
|
You live for the bribe
|
of the next pay-rise
|
and a cut-prize holiday.
|
|
You know you're getting older,
|
it's not gonna stop.
|
You're locked inside a prison
|
where they bleed you drop by drop.
|
You wake up and you wonder
|
why bother getting out of bed.
|
You sold your soul to the corporate goal
|
and you want a new life instead.
|
|
Bang, bang you're dead -
|
there's a gun at your head!
|
But it's only a game, if they shoot you down,
|
you can get up and start again.
|
|
Bang, bang you're dead -
|
but your blood's still running red.
|
If you look at your life with different eyes,
|
you'll know how to start again.
|
|
You can't break out of the circle,
|
your life's not going anywhere.
|
Nobody's going to help you,
|
cause none of them really cares.
|
You could loose your life
|
on a crowded street,
|
they wouldn't even turn their heads.
|
It's all gone wrong,
|
the pressure's too strong,
|
better get a new live instead.
|
|
You don't know where you're going,
|
you don't know where you've been.
|
You can open your eyes and the innocence dies
|
and your past life is a dream.
|
Dead but your blood keeps pumping,
|
dead but your heart still beats.
|
You know why you're here, you know who you are
|
and you know who you wanna be.
|
|
Bang, bang you're dead -
|
there's a gun at your head!
|
But it's only a game, if they shoot you down,
|
you can get up and start again.
|
|
Bang, bang you're dead!
|
Bang, bang you're dead!
|
So down on luck, it feels like nothing's enough,
|
you should get a new live instead.
|
|
Bang, bang you're dead -
|
but your blood's still running red.
|
If you look at your life with different eyes,
|
you'll know how to start again.
