Immer Wieder
by: MutaborMein Name ist egal, mein Blutdruck ganz normal
Ich kämpf' den Kampf des täglichen Bestehens
Wenn ich zu Arbeit geh', über Stock und Stein, durch Schnee
Dann treibt mich nur der Hunger und die Wut
Mein Chef ein schräger Wicht, diktiert mir eine Pflicht
Die täglich seine Taschen füllt
Und wenn ich nicht parier', wie ein Hündchen apportier'
Dann bleibt für mich nur der Bettelsack
...doch Immer immer immer immer wieder
Steh' ich morgens auf und leg mich
abends nieder
Immer immer immer immer wieder
Stell' ich mich einem neuen Tag
Ich schufte wie ein Stier, hinter mir der Vampir
Er wartet nur auf ein kleines Mißgeschick schick schick
Und stoß' ich mir den Kopf, das Blut, es spritzt und tropft
Scheint die Sonne, als wäre nichts geschehen
...doch Immer immer immer immer wieder ...
Dann endlich das Signal, vorbei der Stunden Qual
Schon wieder einen Tag besiegt
Ich schleppe mich hinaus, der Pförtner schenkt Applaus
Und ich weiß, daß er schon morgen wieder singt
Immer immer immer immer wieder ...
