It's not the way you do it
It's more the way you try
Life is just confusion
And that's the reason why
Take away the k**er
Take away his knife
Take away his reasons
Give him back his life
Ooh, la la life
Ooh, la la life
Ooh, la la life
Ooh, la la la la la la la life
Now he feels his heartbeat
Let him have a chance
More than many people
Crying in their hands
He can see the nightmares
Now he sees the light
Giving him no reasons
Aggressiveness or fight
Ooh, la la life
Ooh, la la life
Ooh, la la life
Ooh, la la la la la la la that's life
"Ja, Damen und Herren, so ist das Leben
Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, that is life
Now there follows a short intermission
During which you may smoke cigarettes, matches, etc."
