We Are Us - Tankard

You’re such a down in

your wig and your tights

You look so silly, silly tonight

Trying to be like your favorite star

Why don’t you stay

just the way that you are

Be you, don’t try living a lie

We too are true!

Never a lie

We are true

(Chorus)

Who are you?

We are us!

Be a man you can trust

Being who you are is

the key to yourself

Who are you?

We are us!

What is the sense of a second hang life

That’s no solution — it’s a disguise

Just set your own personality free

Look in the mirror

and find your identity

(Repeat 2nd verse)

(Chorus)

(Solo: Axel, Andy)

Don’t pretend that

you’re someone you’re not

Pride in yourself, man, that means a lot

Stick to your guns,

do what you can do best

And you will find that’s

the best way to have success

(Repeat 2nd verse)

(Chorus)

I can’t rest 'til I’ve discovered why —

we live and die

Desperation’s driving me insane —

pain in my brain

(Chorus)

It’s such a mystery

What is the key to

the meaning of life?

I have to be sure

What are we living for?

It’s such a mystery

But I’ll uncover the meaning of life

What’s the use of fighting for rebirth-

What is it worth?

Born to live the dreams of our parents-

What is the sense?

If your life is from above

There’s no need for making love

Be the best that you can be

Working for the family

A weekend escape is only fantasy —

Life isn’t free

So I work in hopes I’ll get away —

Maybe one day

(Chorus)

(Solo: Axel, Andy)

Sometimes I think that life’s a game —

But who’s to blame?

Or is life for love and charity?

-

I disagree

Life is just a money grab

Taking all that’s to be had

I can never be complete

Everybody wants a piece

Will I ever find some happiness?

-

Before my death

But what if there’s an afterlife —

In Paradise?

(Chorus)

The end of the mystery

Think for yourself
