Boys from the park benches, youth on the ash field
(Ash place, ash place, ash place)
Boys from the park benches, youth on the ash field
(Ash place, ash place, ash place)
Use what we have 'cause we're living in the moment, ah
Boys from the park benches, youth on the ash field
(Ash place, ash place, ash place)
Use what we have 'cause we're living in the moment, ah

We are sick and we are wasting our life time
Hanging on the phones, always looking for opportunity
And when the things we love make us unsatisfied
Let's see what the alternatives have to offer
We do a thousand things, looking for the next chance
Write so much that we have nothing to talk about in the evening
And when the things we love make us unsatisfied
Let's see what the alternatives have to offer


I get up every night, leave the house and make the best of it
Write a song, then record it and give me Flash on the sound, ah
Between coffee from the gas station and a few Bloody Marys
Because the music and I belong together like Doug and Carrie
And above all, they all hang out on their screens and have food delivered
Go make a career, we'll be the last players
Everyone wants food that is as light and pre-digested as possible
Increase their power consumption with shit that will chew your ear off
I'm not interested in just thinking my life in numbers
Look how much time you have left at the end of the year
Everyone complains, but nobody breaks out, nobody goes out
Everyone goes home on the couch at night

We are boys from the park benches, youth on the cinder square
Haven't thought about the future yet
We have come to move what slows us down
To use what we have 'cause we're living in the moment, ah

We are sick and we are wasting our life time
Hanging in front of the cell phones, constantly looking for opportunities
And when the things we love make us unsatisfied
Let's see what the alternatives have to offer
We do a thousand things, looking for the next chance
Write so much that we have nothing to talk about in the evening
And when the things we love make us unsatisfied
Let's see what the alternatives have to offer


And unfortunately I'm not spared from the disturbed nonsense
What good are clever words if you don't have listeners
Everyone is looking for something that makes them more beautiful
But no woman wants for life, only pushes off her horns
Don't write songs to increase my bank balance
I prefer to constantly try to broaden horizons
You are bloggers or YouTubers, models and in fitness fever
Write for magazines while we bring you the reports
Quality is not measured by success
People no longer satisfy their hunger, no, they eat their fill
I'm dissatisfied, burned out, call it what you will
While you play tennis and chill, I'll write a melody that kills

We are boys from the park benches, youth on the cinder square
Haven't thought about the future yet
Have come to move what slows us down
To use what we have 'cause we're living in the moment, ah

We are sick and we are wasting our life time
Hanging in front of the cell phones, constantly looking for opportunities
And when the things we love make us unsatisfied
Let's see what the alternatives have to offer
We do a thousand things, looking for the next chance
Write so much that we have nothing to talk about in the evening
And when the things we love make us unsatisfied
Let's see what the alternatives have to offer

Boys from the park benches, youth on the ash field
(Ash place, ash place, ash place)
Boys from the park benches, youth on the ash field
(Ash place, ash place, ash place)
Use what we have 'cause we're living in the moment, ah
Boys from the park benches, youth on the ash field
(Ash place, ash place, ash place)
Use what we have 'cause we're living in the moment, ah
