The Meaning of Life Songtext
von Tankard

It′s such a mystery
Can someone tell me the meaning of life?
It's really killing me
Who′s got the rap on the meaning of life?
Kama Sutra, Bible and Koran - no answer, man
Not a clue from Marx to Socrates - I'm on my knees
Gotta find it in my own
Sober, drunk or maybe stoned
Grow myself a wisdom tooth
Ask him, if he knows the truth
I can't rest ′til I′ve discovered why - we live and die
Desperation's driving me insane - pain in my brain


It′s such a mystery
What is the key to the meaning of life?
I have to be sure
What are we living for?
It's such a mystery
But I′ll uncover the meaning of life

What's the use of fighting for rebirth - What is it worth?
Born to live the dreams of our parents - What is the sense?
If your life is from above
There′s no need for making love
Be the best that you can be
Working for the family
A weekend escape is only fantasy - Life isn't free
So I work in hopes I'll get away - Maybe one day

Sometimes I think that life′s a game - But who′s to blame?
Or is life for love and charity? - I disagree
Life is just a money grab
Taking all that's to be had
I can never be complete
Everybody wants a piece
Will I ever find some happiness? - Before my death
But what if there′s an afterlife - In Paradise?


The end of the mystery
Think for yourself
