Lyrics Tankard – The Meaning Of Life
Text:
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?
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
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
