Life ain't wiping your ass [German translation]

You’re in the vale of tears now, nothing’s going right

Your whole life leaves you feeling sour

It starts to drain you slowly, hits with all its might

Your storm is just a simple shower

It seems that half the world and later all the rest

Joined forces just to be against you

Your life is not your own, your soul is in distress

With all this sorrow you just make do

It feels as though your hands were tightly bound together

A good fairy is all you seek

You can’t complain, stay calm and pull yourself together

Let me tell you what I believe

Don't sing the blues, it’s time for a love song now

Much better to laugh than cry

Cause this life ain’t wiping your ass for you

You’re gonna have to DIY

You say I was naive and I had no idea

I didn’t get the state you’re in

You’re at its mercy now, to you it wasn’t clear

But couldn’t I have seen that coming?

Yeah, you are blinded by the darker sides of life

And from the light you keep on hiding

Don’t make your molehills into mountains, why not try

Frustration keeps you from deciding

I know you’re feeling bad, the world that’s on your shoulders

Oh, it just brings you to your knees

Munchausen got it right: the swamp is getting colder

Pull your hair and then just break free

Don’t sing the blues, it’s time for a love song now

Much better to laugh than cry

Cause life ain’t wiping your ass for you

You’re gonna have to DIY

Lift your head up and look around:

Life goes up and life goes down and the world goes around

Life seems like a rainy day

No help from God, just wise men say

Life is never roses all the way

The solution lies with you alone

And the pain is here to make you strong

Don’t sing the blues, it’s time for a love song now

Just see the world with new eyes

Real wonders seem to have gone somehow

No king is going to take a bow

Cause life ain’t wiping your ass for you

You’re gonna have to DIY

You have to DIY

No, Jesus won’t wipe your ass for you

You’re gonna have to DIY
