When I Was Young Songtext

von Josef Hader

When I was young
My mother said to me:
You have so many dreams
But this dreams
You can't realize

So you need no dreams
You need no emotions
You need no art
You need no revolution

'cause all that you need, that you need
Is just work
And someone to love
That's enough, lalala lalala

So I grew up and got married with the
Eldest girl in our town,
But she was rich and so well dressed
She said: dreams to make true is so easy, honey
All you have to do is to run and earn money

'cause all that you need, that you need
Is just work, is just work
And just me to love
That's enough, lalala lalala

Now I am old and grew older and older
Everybody loves me and is knocking at my shoulder
My children are so cute
My car is so new
My wife is still good to show
My girlfriend does nobody know

So there's for me only one stress for me only one stress for me only one stress
The death
Lalala, lalala, lalala
The death
Lalala, lalala, lalala
The death
Lalala, lalala, lalala
The death
