Nina Hagen Only Seventeen Lyrics

Birds bring me this message
It helps to start my day
Heaven still does us favors
Like the Indians used to say
Keeping alive in a dying world
The basics remain the best way
This ain't nothing you haven't heard
But the new age is here to stay

So young you should not be lazy
Work hard, but don't make yourself crazy
Who's gonna listen when you disapprove?
They say the excuses have all been used

Giving this world all you can of yourself
And somebody still isn't satisfied
Trust yourself, if no one else
Be strong, you know you're gonna make it

Young! Savage! And only seventeen
Big! Power! You're my living dream
Super! Great! The leader of the scene
So young, savage, and only seventeen, only seventeen
So young, so strong, I will follow you
So big, so great, I'm in love it's true
Get me, I'm ready, if not I will be blue
If you want me to I'd follow you
Just ask me to, yes I love you

Nothing in the world comes before it's time
Like it or not, so is this life designed
Old dogs and new tricks must be kept apart So when you give love it must be from the heart

Young! Savage! But only seventeen
Big! Power! You're my living dream
Super! Great! The leader of the scene
So young, savage, and only seventeen, only seventeen
So young, so strong, I will follow you
So big, so great, I'm in love it's true
Get me, I'm ready, if not I will be blue

You're too young to be exposed
Radiation's burning through your clothes
Your heart's on fire, your mind's ablaze
In (AN AGE OLD) a stranger waits

Youire seventeen, a teenage dream
Your heart is the rhythm of the acid scene
Whereis a nightclub icuz you gotta go
The people know where the bass bands blow
And the rhythm and the body
But youire not satisfied
You wanna take your mind on a little ride
You're only seventeen and right through the night
So the wisdom of your life

Make me your queen
You are my dream
I know you're big
I hope you'll dig
My Angebot
I'm the Chinese Goat
If you want me to
I'll follow you
Just ask me to
Yes I love you ...
