To retreat into your shell: that's just the usual reaction When the way things go don't lead to your own satisfaction Giving it up – is that your way of life? And inner strife and pain is all you feel inside Is your cup half-empty instead of half-filled up Do you feel annoyed by every little thing Is self-pity 'n pessimism your second name Is your whole life covered by a long black crape And then you feel like bursting and you only want to scream It seems like you are wasting time with your philosophy To just spent this lifetime with sitting, thinking, dreaming One day you will smother on all these stupid things Why don't you scream and shout when you're face-down Why don't you talk to people who find a way out You're not the only one, that's what you got to know Time will not stand still just because of you No, no, no never ever, I'm so sick of it No, no, no never ever, These words kill No, no, never ever no, no, never ever, That is what you always say You don't need to be troubled, your life is in good hands. But just doing nothing don't lead to a happy end Are you satisfied with everything you say or do Be someone who reacts but don't act like a fool Does god distribute while his own are sleeping What about your own acts are you still creeping Through rooms and spheres nobody can ever come to Please turn around that's the best that you can do Let him be the bullet that kills all bad feelings Let him be the bandage which stops all your bleedings Pimp your life with love from outside Turn to the right way let him be your guide Let him be the bullet that kills all bad feelings Let him be the bandage which stops all your bleedings He pulls people out of the dark into a new life and turns them inside out Let him throw yourself in turmoil get turned inside out be a light in the crowd No, no, no never ever Back to pessimism No, no, no never ever Being alone Leave your old life behind face the trouble inside Throw the long black crape away
