[Music + lyrics: M. Weikath]
|
|
Once a singer sang 'bout bullshit
|
everyone could see him fall
|
and be sure it's been his last hit
|
he's never been seen at all
|
|
Some dictator felt progressive
|
and lay down in the sun
|
but his people were aggressive
|
they killed him with a gun
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
|
|
Sometimes you're wrong
|
by some things you have done
|
you see fate is too strong
|
nothing's won
|
no use for a fight
|
if you're not acting right
|
you'll be cut down to size
|
like a lie
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
|
|
It's the rise and fall
|
the prize for all
|
that ain't nice at all
|
luck is like a ball
|
you can't recall or care at all
|
so better use your brain
|
|
A little dragon could spit fire
|
but never so for something bad
|
he didn't know the knight's desire
|
to throw a lance into his head
|
|
Romeo loved his Juliet
|
their parents told them "Stop"
|
then it all turned out peculiar
|
he couldn't get it up
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
|
|
And it's all in vain
|
when you're living with pain
|
reap not goods you have grown
|
by your own
|
feelings you like
|
disappear overnight
|
you sip up every grin
|
free to win
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
|
|
It's the rise and fall
|
the prize for all
|
that ain't nice at all
|
luck is like a ball
|
you can't recall or care at all
|
you nearly go insane
|
|
[Solo: both/Kai/Mike]
|
|
A spaceman flies the rocket
|
that takes him to the stars
|
thinks his wife is in his pocket
|
but she's strolling 'round in bars
|
|
The king of Los Angeles
|
bought himself a teddy bear
|
and the queen became shameless
|
she did it with a chair
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
|
|
Sometimes you're wrong
|
by some things you have done
|
you see fate is too strong
|
nothing's won
|
no use for a fight
|
if you're not acting right
|
you'll be cut down to size
|
like a lie
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
|
|
It's the rise and fall
|
the prize for all
|
that ain't nice at all
|
luck is like a ball
|
you can't recall or care at all
|
so better use your brain
|
