I’VE HAD IT (AND I WANT IT BACK)

I can’t eat, I can’t sleep,
How fast a heart can beat.
No more beer, no more wine,
Pressure’s up at one-ninety-nine.
Blue eyes, red head,
I should cool down a bit.
I always had my share,
Now the doctor says: „Beware!“

Where’s the fun, where’s the joy?
I thought time was just a toy.
I played around all my life,
Until I found myself a wife.
Everything should be just dandy,
If I could only lose the candy
And the smoke and the toke
And the gin and the fun.
All the fun.

Sit in the kitchen and talk a lot,
Drink cheap wine in the parking lot,
Stumble home when the sun goes up,
Never know when to stop,
Play guitar all day long,
Have a smoke, much too strong,
Dancing in the pouring rain,
Life in the fast lane.
I’ve had it - and I want it back!

I can’t walk, can’t run,
Can’t without burn sit in the sun.
Can’t talk, can’t sing,
I doin’t think that’s a good thing.
Can’t move, can’t groove,
Just shaking my head
And stomping the ground
Can’t hear, can’t feel.
I used to be soft, but now I’m steel.

Where’s the love, where’s the kindness?
Where’s the potion against blindness?
What’s the use of constant fighting?
Wherever you look it’s thunder and lightning.
Every song sounds like the blues,
If I could only lose the news
And the net they’re like sugar and fat,
as they say: It’s gonna kill me someday …
