The alarm clock rings, I open my eyes

And watch the yellowed white of my room's ceiling

The dull light of the dawn falls through my window

Raindrops are hitting the ground

The splattering sound promises me a day

Full of depressive thoughts

I torture myself out of bed

It's time to go to work



Live your life in your own way

Free and full of fun

Keep on smiling every day

Think - but never get depressed

Follow the golden rule

Never loose your humor, man

Never forget - N.L.Y.H.



The work today is like everytime

Tiring, boring and grey

Nine hours later I'm at home again

Time to have some food

Now I want to disperse my thoughts

So I switch on the TV

TV-clowns grin like they want to show

How good they have cleaned their teeth



Live your life in your own way

Free and full of fun

Keep on smiling every day

Think - but never get depressed

Follow the golden rule

Never loose your humor, man

Never forget - N.L.Y.H.



But the news

Confirms my thoughts of a sick world

Can't believe

What some men are able to do

Our fate

The future of a billion souls

Lays in

The hands of a few fools



Tired I switch off the TV

Time to go to bed

Tomorrow's day won't bring anything new

But nevertheless I'm glad

I think that I have recognized

The things for what they are

I'm alive and that's all that counts

I learned to laugh in the face of fear



Live your life in your own way

Free and full of fun

Keep on smiling every day

Think - but never get depressed

Follow the golden rule

Never loose your humor, man

Never forget - N.L.Y.H.
