In the bars, people have fun and forget themselves
And I, in the shadows, have found the will to live again
I keep to myself, confine my sorrows to the night
Tonight
There are nights like this when everything collapses
The nights like this where I switch off, I switch it all off
Go, go and love one another on the sly
In the end you will all fuck yourselves over.
If the kids tell off their mothers
It’s because their values are lost at the bottom of their glasses
Cocaine and cocktails are the “in” thing these days
So the youth call for fresh air
What is this world? What planet are we living on?
Who are these fathers who think its okay to blow
all of their salary in poker, in these shitty games
while watching their kids run to their doom
I am one of these overwhelmed kids, tired of life
To the left we sniff, to the right we pray
And here I stand, misunderstood
So tonight I’m sorry, I let go, yeah
In the bars, people have fun and forget themselves
And I, in the shadows, have found the will to live again
I keep to myself, confine my sorrows to the night
Tonight
Tonight, I don't feel like laughing
If I don’t do it, who will tell them?
Who, who, who is going to stop the demise of this country,
Sadistic and capitalistic?
Stop telling all of these young girls
That beauty is found in magazines.
Bulimia here, anorexia there,
all because the modeling world is exciting.
Stop castrating us from morning til night
We dream to break away from your hopes
You who need Roselmack and Obama
to finally respect blacks
What is this world? What planet are we living on?
Where are the role models? Where are the reference points?
When I see young people insult their fathers
Then I know that there is nothing much I can do here anymore because
In the bars, people have fun and forget themselves
And I, in the shadows, have found the will to live again
I keep to myself, confine my sorrows to the night
Tonight
In the bars, people have fun and forget themselves
And I, in the shadows, have found my smile again
So I stay away to avoid suffering
In the shadows
In the bars, people have fun and forget themselves
And I, in the shadows, have found the will to live again
I keep to myself, confine my sorrows to the night
Tonight
