Ist das nichts [English translation]
Ist das nichts [English translation]
You are young and you say, you are down on your luck
That the world's just a scam, and you're about to give up
You say, you deserve better, and life ain't no fun
And then, you blow your brains out, with a shotgun
Don't you think, it is good, that you still have a friend
That you used to be grieving, and are smiling again
Don't you think, it is enough, to eat oatmeal and corn
While Somewhere, right now, a new orphan born
Don't you think, you could help someone, if you'd only try
Don't you think, you're getting somewhere, even if you don't know why
Being raised where the word 'freedom' is more than an empty shell
Don't you think, don't you think, don't you really think ?
With the world at your feet, a young and healthy looking lad
don't you think, it is time, to give back..
you hide in your basement, and say this world's not for me
but, take a look around, there is so much to see
there are millions that would trade fates with you,
and live happy as can be
but you just sit there, and lecture me
Don't you think it's a good thing, that you have a place to sleep
and have three hundred dollars, worth of clothes on your heap
that there's somebody somewhere, that you can't even touch
that no eye has ever seen, but who loves you so much
Don't you think, it is good to feel a sunray on your skin
Or to see the children run, and feel happy within
That you live, where freedom, is not just a word
Don't you think, don't you think, don't you really think
With the world at your feet, a young and healthy looking lad
don't you think, it is time, to give back..
With the world at your feet, a young and healthy girl
don't you think, you could be something, in this world
