The Wise One

Why do you act like a wise one when I know your story?
With me, you already lost, I know you're envious of me
The envy you have towards me, baby, doesn't bother me
If the act you put on is sold in the pharmacy

Stop all the boasting and live in reality
Oh, no matter how hard you try, the world won't change
I know they tell you: Wise one, wise one, you will be
But with so much wisdom and you have no happiness
You-you-you-you have no happiness

(The wise one has nothing)
(The wise one has nothing)
Dance around here, dance around there
(The wise one has nothing)
Listen, the wise one has nothing
(The wise one has nothing)
Yesterday you called me, invited me to the corner
I thought we were going to fight and you turned out to be a coward
And quack-quack and quack-quack

(The wise one has nothing)
Come and tell me now
(The wise one has nothing)
If you like to party or not, no, you don't like anything
(The wise one has nothing)
Dance around and talk a lot, it's all blah-blah-blah

(The wise one has nothing)
In front you're my friend, behind, the stab
(The wise one has nothing)
Go and tell the wise one
(The wise one has nothing)
That his carnival is over
(The wise one has nothing)

Little carnival, carnival
(The wise one has nothing)

Be careful, here it comes, ju!

You have no happiness
(The wise one has nothing)
(The wise one has nothing)
Listen, the wise one has nothing
(The wise one has nothing)
You have nothing, na-nai, na-na-na and na-nia-nia-nia

(The wise one has nothing)
Don't come to me with stories
(The wise one has nothing)
I know your omen
(The wise one has nothing)
On the tip of your lips
(The wise one has nothing)
I'm going to put a flower and claim

(The wise one has nothing)
Go
I told you it was coming hard
And you didn't believe it

And you have no happiness
(The wise one has nothing)
Come on, tell me now (the wise one has nothing)
Because you will have wisdom
(The wise one has nothing)
They will write on your tombstone
(The wise one has nothing)
Here now rests the wise one

(The wise one has nothing)
And tell him who knew more
(The wise one has nothing)
And in glory he will wait for me
(The wise one has nothing)
Oh, to tell me so many things
(The wise one has nothing)
That he won't tell anyone
(The wise one has nothing)

Tell me, who was the wise one?
Pretend wise, be careful you don't get wet
