De Gamle Stoffer - Peter Sommer

De gamle stoffer

Virker ikke mere

Så er det nu vi stopper

Eller tar nogle flere

Lægger det bag os

Tar det hele forfra

Er det her en slags mantra

Man ikke bør gentage?

Den rus sku vi ha

Livet var en chance

Som vi mente man sku ta

Men hvilken vej skal man ta

Den ene peger fremad

Den anden går tilbage

Vi læser avisen

Når vi vil informeres

Ser skriften på væggen

Når vi vil vide mere

Hører ure der tikker

Hører hjerter der banker

Før var vi så sikre

Vi kom på andre tanker

Den rus sku vi ha

Livet var en chance

Som vi mente man sku ta

Men hvilken vej skal man ta

Den ene peger fremad

Den anden går tilbage

The old drugs

Does not work anymore

Then it's now we stop

Or take some more

Puts it behind us

Takes it all over again

Is this a kind of mantra

One should not repeat?

The intoxication we should have

Life was a chance

As we thought one should take

But which way to go

One points forward

The other goes back

We read the newspaper

When we want to be informed

See the writing on the wall

When we want to know more

Hear clocks ticking

Hear hearts beating

Before, we were so safe

We came up with other ideas

The intoxication we should have

Life was a chance

As we thought one should take

But which way to go

One points forward

The other goes back
