No cash in my pocket
_____
And when the fridge was empty
We thought up something to eat
_____
Vacation in a sleeping bag, not in down feathers
_____
And for the first time on our own four wheels
_____
I think now you'll totally agree with me
_____
On Sundays everyone went into the garden
_____
Instead of phones there were postcards
_____
You always knew somebody who was really rich
_____
The big wide world seemed unreachable
_____
On TV it didn't look real or true
_____
Not everything was bad
_____
There was still that hot math teacher
_____
I didn't get a thing
_____
But I liked going anyway
_____
That weren't clear for the future
_____
When the parents weren't there
_____
We boozed through many nights
_____
Not everything was bad
_____
We enjoyed and wasted time
_____
And then the tide turned again
_____
The world was suddenly full of colorful things
_____
And everybody wanted to hear us sing
_____
The favorite bird was the Wall woodpecker
_____
Maybe this song isn't interesting
_____
And surely not politically relevant
_____
Probably there's somebody who heard it
_____
And got annoyed by a couple small lines
_____
It hasn't got the level of Bertolt Brecht
_____
But not everything was bad
