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 killer
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."
