Einfach Sein

Simply Be

[Smudo:]
No - Come - No,
Oh man, why not?
Now I got you from the store
over the car to the front yard
but we're just spinning our wheels
Understand, it's about our existence
Forget the material things,
Forget the job, forget Mercedes-Benz
This world is in the red and above all, it needs a decision finally
And what it also needs is love from everyone, I totally agree with you
We don't grasp anything permanently, if we don't grasp permanently
If we doubt the power, then we only power our doubts

And she asks 'Really?' and I say 'Yes, yes'
And she asks 'Really?' and I say 'Of course!'
And she comes to the crib and looks - great
And I say 'I'm Smudo, take your - top off'

It could all be so simple, but it's not (2x)

[Michi Beck:]
I somehow imagined it more beautiful
I think I made some mistake
I had higher goals
wanted to drink Roederer, earn a fortune overnight
Instead, I sit here all day
Drink too much coffee, that I can't handle
Copy papers that I don't understand anyway
and later I sort them into a file
But where is the meaning, I never wanted to go there
What do they think who I am?
There's still something to come, you'll see
I'll take over this place soon
And once the business runs smoothly
then all of this will be mine someday
I'm the godfather and will
free you from all the hardships forever

It could all be so simple
I envy everyone their own home
Because we don't want any work anyway
just a lot of money,
If possible, no questions,
that anyone asks us.

[Thomas D:]
Close your eyes and breathe deeply
and stop believing only what you see
You know you can't see through everything
But what you need is trust and imagination
In one thing we're all the same
and even if it doesn't seem like it to anyone
Although we know nothing, everyone knows
We are all united in that
So let's summarize here:
It all started with you
You walked on water at some point
And we're supposed to descend from apes?

Sure, we have questions but an answer - we unfortunately don't have
Sure, we want to leave but somewhere to arrive - we unfortunately can't
We want a formula for eternal wealth - but we don't get it
Harrison Ford or Xavier Naidoo - we unfortunately aren't
