You still can hold on for some time
here, these people
REFRAIN:
Dense forest, vast fields
Landscape evokes fear of God
Here the sky dangles gloomily
over our heads
You are young and restless heart
fed up with this damn town
But if you tarry,
you'd get to the world for sure
Again a traditional Friday night
The voice of rallying calls out from downtown
Friend asks you out to go mess around
But in check, everything should put today
You've got a ticket to another world,
as long as you stay focused for a while
A fool would begin stirring up troubles
But this place isn't all you've got
REFRAIN
Don't mess up now, don't go overboard now
Don't let angst to get a grip on you
People being fooling around, big time
Played with death for years
Finish your schools, get the competence
You can't blame it on drugs / alcohol
That you didn't have the self-discipline
Even though you can't bear your home now
Advance like a soldier
Not many options available here
you are between the tree and the crust here
Light is shining from the end of the tunnel
Now you are hanging on, having a grip on life
REFRAIN
Don't mess up now, don't go overboard now
Don't let angst to get a grip on you
People being fooling around, big time
Played with death for years
Finish your schools, get the competence
You can't blame it on drugs / alcohol
That you didn't have the self-discipline
Even though you can't bear your home now
Advance like a soldier
