von Die Fantastischen Vier

You are born, there is the light
Your first day, don’t mess it up
Your last day, you’ve messed it up
And you are born, and you know that too
And you are born, what will you make of it?
Plant a tree, build a house
Move in, look out
Breathe in and breathe out

And you are born, blue blood
High school diploma, not so good
Thanks to your title, but lived in style
Got fat and did nothing
And you are born, in perfect health
See no reason to die
Your heirs wait in vain
Because you are born and you stay alive


Where are we going? (where are we going?)
Where do we come from? (where do we come from?)
What’s the point? (what’s the point?)
Is there more? (is there more?)
Is there a tunnel? (is there a tunnel?)
Is there a light?
Hey man, why are you asking me?
I don’t know

And I breathe (breathe, breathe, breathe) in
And I breathe (breathe, breathe, breathe) out

And you are born, asshole
Father says, it wasn’t me
Mother says, tough luck
Challenge it and settle accounts
And you are born, middle class
Twenty years, Philly Blunt
Thirty years, front page
Forty years, you’re fading

And you are born, underwater
Artist’s child, Hundertwasser
Hanging in the place, short of breath
Hanging in the Louvre, after death
And you are born, religion
Son of the son of the son of the son
Son of the son of the son of the son
Of the son of the son of the son
