To retreat into your shell: that’s just the usual reaction 
When the way things go don't lead to your own satisfaction 
Giving it up – is that your way of life? 
And inner strife and pain is all you feel inside 
Is your cup half-empty instead of half-filled up 
Do you feel annoyed by every little thing 
Is self-pity 'n pessimism your second name 
Is your whole life covered by a long black crape 
And then you feel like bursting and you only want to scream 
It seems like you are wasting time with your philosophy 
To just spent this lifetime with sitting, thinking, dreaming 
One day you will smother on all these stupid things 
Why don't you scream and shout when you're face-down 
Why don't you talk to people who find a way out 
You're not the only one, that's what you got to know 
Time will not stand still just because of you 
No, no, no never ever, 
I'm so sick of it 
No, no, no never ever, 
These words kill 
No, no, never ever no, no, never ever, 
That is what you always say 
You don’t need to be troubled, your life is in good hands. 
But just doing nothing don't lead to a happy end 
Are you satisfied with everything you say or do 
Be someone who reacts but don't act like a fool 
Does god distribute while his own are sleeping 
What about your own acts are you still creeping 
Through rooms and spheres nobody can ever come to 
Please turn around that's the best that you can do 
Let him be the bullet that kills all bad feelings 
Let him be the bandage which stops all your bleedings 
Pimp your life with love from outside 
Turn to the right way let him be your guide 
Let him be the bullet that kills all bad feelings 
Let him be the bandage which stops all your bleedings 
He pulls people out of the dark into a new life and turns them inside out 
Let him throw yourself in turmoil get turned inside out be a light in the crowd 
No,no, no never ever 
Back to pessimism 
No, no, no never ever 
Being alone 
Leave your old life behind face the trouble inside 
Throw the long black crape away
