The way it was
It used to be
Well it had to change
As we all could see
We're twice as big
And Yet so small
Now we have to share
Here in Germany

When skins broke up
As Lenin broke down
Driving fast
Through united towns
Clubs being closed
And fights ahead
Now we have to share
So the Chancellor said

Life isn't easy in Germany
Life isn't easy in Germany

Such boring days
For kids in the East
Where should they stay
How to be pleased
The freedom of speech
Playing democracy
Bo ey, Life isn't easy in Germany

Life isn't easy in Germany
Can't you see
Life isn't easy in Germany

(Das also waren Deutsche
Die noch nichts zu sagen hatten
Aber reden durften)
