If Life Exists
I think if life existsIt's probably like thisI had a common goalI caught a common coldI said when I get healthyI won't take it for grantedAnd I really thought I meant it but I knew when I got better that I'd probably forget itFeeling fine wasn't worth a mentionSo I didn't pay attentionAnd it seems that's just the wayIts all easier said that doneAnd it's not even easy to sayAnd when I get back homeI'll see what's left before I'd goneA thousand sheets of paperI'll see what they are laterAnd then I've gotta roamAnd back and forth I've flownAnd when I get back home I'll see what's left before I've goneTwo thousand sheets of paperI'll see what they are laterWell it's hard to get too boredWhen you pick the right two chordsSongtexteAnd you keep on strummingAs if you don't know what's comingNow I don't have a girlfriend and I wish I was more happyNow I have a girlfriend and I wish I was more happyNow I have two girlfriends and I wish I was more happyNow I have four girlfriends and I wish I was more happyAnd when I'm in an airplaneI close my eyes and pretendThat it's a rocket pointed straight downShooting at the earth againNow I am more happy and I wish I was more happyIf I was a little smarterIf I worked a little harderBut emotions in the brainThey'll always be the sameIt's just chemicals and blobAnd what you've got is what you've gotAnd you just apply it to whatever's passing by itJust like the guitar pick that I could not keep in my gripIt's like all the love I lose 'cos I could never fill the shoesBut it's just because I have no feetAnd then I think every minute of every day I have a choiceTo wish things could be better or be glad things aren't be worseAnd maybe every minute of every day we have the choiceTo say, "Things could be better," or to say, "Things could be worse."And I think if life existsIt's probably like thisBut it's hard to get too boredWhen you pick the right two chordsAnd you keep on strummingAs if you don't know what's comingAnd it seems that's just the wayIt's all easier said that doneAnd it's not even easy to say Aus Songtexte Mania
