Vivere La Vita
Alessandro Mannarino
Living Life
Living life is a really big thing
There's the whole world between the cradle and the grave
You left from a small port
Where the thirst was great and the flask was short
And now you live…
Because I wouldn't have anything better to do
Until you're dead
Life is the biggest intoxication
While you're drinking everything around you spins
And you meet a lot of people
But when it's over you won't remember anything
But don't be afraid, someone else will remember you
But the question is…why???
Because you gave them something
Or you had a debt…and didn't pay it???
There's nothing worse than wasted talent
There's nothing sadder than a father who didn't love...
Living life is like a big merry-go-round
There's the moment to be up and the one to fall down to the bottom
And then you'll be scared
Because that night you weren't ready
In the morning you'll stand up on your feet
And you'll be the strongest man in the world
She put on heavy makeup to hide a pain
He stuck his fingers down his throat…to see if he really had a heart
Then what society hadn't done, love did it...
Look at them now, how they walk lightly without a surname...
You can change your shirt if you want
And if you trust, you can change your shoes...
If you have new shoes, you can change your path
And by changing paths, you can change ideas
And with ideas, you can change the world...
But the world doesn't change often
So your real revolution will be to change yourself
Here you are on your paper boat challenging the waves of radio and television
Here you are on the highway giving a good punch to an exploiter
Here you are in your studio apartment writing a song
Here you are at war in the desert about to desert
And now…here you are on the bed not wanting to get up anymore...
And you complain about the governments and the general crisis...
Can I tell you something as a child???
Get out of the house! Roar!! Breathe deeply!!!
You're alive!!!...idiot...
