Mein Leben English translation
von Kraftklub

People ask me: “Is this your life?”
Yeah, this is my life!
My life has problems but doesn’t want to admit it!
It’s constantly drunk, always in a bad mood
First it hits, then it talks — my life is looking for trouble!
So close the door! Psycho on the schoolyard
Your life is going well, my life is coming after me!
Without any reason, no idea why
I swear, my life will kill me someday!

My life isn’t cool, my life is an asshole (yeah, yeah)
Your life’s going well, my life’s running amok (yeah, yeah)
And no matter what I do, my life stays an asshole (yeah, yeah)
Your life’s going well, my life’s running amok (yeah, yeah)

I don’t even complain anymore about standing in the rain
I’ve spent my whole life trying to get out of my life’s way
I don’t want trouble, I try to avoid it
But my damn life just doesn’t like me


I’ve got too little money (and the month’s got too many days)
The overdue notices in my mailbox change their color
My ex is throwing me out of my apartment
No problem! It’s going great! My life hates me!

My life isn’t cool, my life is an asshole (yeah, yeah)
Your life’s going well, my life’s running amok (yeah, yeah)
And no matter what I do, my life stays an asshole (yeah, yeah)
Your life’s going well, my life’s running amok (yeah, yeah)

Every day I wake up and ask myself
If everything’s screwed and what’s waiting for me
It’s little to nothing — not that tragic
It stays exactly the same as it’s been for 10 years
Why always me and never the others?
I sit at home and stare at the wall
And you tell me how happy you are
Well, I’m really happy for you, for once

My life isn’t cool, my life is an asshole (yeah, yeah)
Your life’s going well, my life’s running amok (yeah, yeah)
And no matter what I do, my life stays an asshole (yeah, yeah)
Your life’s going well, my life’s running amok (yeah, yeah)


Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
