The way it was

It used to be

Well it had to change

As we all could see

We're twice as big

And Yet so small

Now we have to share

Here in Germany



When skins broke up

As Lenin broke down

Driving fast

Through united towns

Clubs being closed

And fights ahead

Now we have to share

So the Chancellor said



Life isn4t easy in Germany

Life isn4t easy in Germany



Such boring days

For kids in the East

Where should they stay

How to be pleased

The freedom of speech

Playing democracy

Bo ey, Life isn4t easy in Germany



Life isn4t easy in Germany

Can't you see

Life isn4t easy in Germany



(Das also waren Deutsche

Die noch nichts zu sagen hatten

Aber reden durften)
