Die Toten Hosen - You're Dead lyrics
[Die Toten Hosen - You're Dead lyrics]
"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
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 -

If you look at your life with different eyes
You'll know how to start again
