The way it was
It used to be
Well it had to change
As we all could see
We're twice as big
And Yet so small
Now we have to share
Here in Germany
When skins broke up
As Lenin broke down
Driving fast
Through united towns
Clubs being closed
And fights ahead
Now we have to share
So the Chancellor said
Life isn4t easy in Germany
Life isn4t easy in Germany
Such boring days
For kids in the East
Where should they stay
How to be pleased
The freedom of speech
Playing democracy
Bo ey, Life isn4t easy in Germany
Life isn4t easy in Germany
Can't you see
Life isn4t easy in Germany
(Das also waren Deutsche
Die noch nichts zu sagen hatten
Aber reden durften)
