It doesn't take much
To make an impression
It doesn't take much
Just go on television
And people
Immediately recognise you in the streets
It's too easy
To get a big head
And besides, it's this here
The reality of this life
We can see ourselves only outside
We can content ourselves with impressions
We can f*** happily
As if it were nothing
I would set fire to your home
If it would get me through the toothache
And meanwhile the world rolls
And the sea shimmers evermore
Tomorrow is already Sunday
And perhaps maybe (it will) snow
It doesn't take much
To come across well
It doesn't take much
Just be good on Sunday morning
It doesn't take much
To be sly
It doesn't take much
Just think that they're all idiots
And besides, it's this here
The reality of this life
Of this beautiful civilisation
So noble, so ancient
And what's great, look here
Has arrived on the moon
Has left below only
The meaning of life
And meanwhile the world rolls
And the sea shimmers evermore
Tomorrow is already Sunday
And perhaps maybe (it will) snow
It doesn't take much
To be intolerant
It doesn't take much
Just be the slightest bit ignorant
It doesn't take much
To not understand and to run away
It doesn't take much
Why bother, whichever one it is...
And meanwhile the world rolls
And the sea shimmers evermore
Tomorrow is already Sunday
And perhaps maybe (it will) snow
