The ***** Of Living

God, I dreamed there was an angel

Who could hear me through the wall

As I cried out like in Latin,

"This is so not life at all"

Help me out, out of this nightmare

Then I heard her silver call

She said "Just give it time, kid

I come to one and all"

She said give me that hand please

An itch you can't control

Let me teach you how to handle

All the sadness in your soul

Oh we'll work that silver magic

Then we'll aim it at the wall

She said love may make you blind, kid

But I wouldn't mind at all

ALL

It's the ***** of living (*****, just the *****)

Nothing but your hand (just the *****, yeah)

Just the ***** of living

As someone you can't stand

GEORG

See,each night it's like fantastic

Toss and turning without rest

'cause my days at the piano

With my teacher and her breasts

And the music's, like, the one thing

I can even get at all

And those breasts, I mean god

Please just let those apples fall

ALL

It's the ***** of living (*****, ah ah ah)

With nothing going on (nothing going on)

Just the ***** of living

Asking "What went wrong?"

Do they think we want this?

Oh, who knows?

ERNST

See, there's showering at gym class...

HANSCHEN

Bobby Mayler, he's the best

Looks so nasty in those khakis

ERNST

God, my whole life's like some test

OTTO

Then there's Marianna Wheelan

As if she'd return my call

HANSCHEN

It's like, just kiss some ass man

Then you can screw 'em all

MELCHIOR

It's the ***** of living (it's the ***** of living)

And living in your head (in your head)

It's the ***** of living

And sensing god is dead

ALL(MELCHIOR)

It's the ***** of living (you watch me, just watch me)

And trying to get ahead (I'm calling, and one day)

It's the ***** of living

MORITZ

Just getting out of bed

ALL(MELCHIOR)

It's the ***** of living, living, living (All will know)

Getting what you get (All will know)

Just the ***** of living

MELCHIOR

And knowing this is it

ALL

God, is this it?

This can't be it...

Oh god, what a *****.
