Verse 1)
Hey, we’re f*cking young, and free on top of it
There are so many fun things, when can we do them all before we die?
If I stand still for just a moment my whole body gets itchy
I have exactly one worry: tomorrow’s hangover
A troublemaker, not even my mom can stop me
If there’s something I want to do I always do it, else I ache all over
Free from all ideas and thoughts, I might seem totally witless
but there’s always a war in my head, I just don’t want to grow up
I had a dream of being a hero who saves the world
but what we dream of now is being a landlord
It’s alright, because we’re still f*cking young
Let’s enjoy it for now, the today that won’t come again
Hook: Mayson The Soul)
Everybody says,
“Life is short”
I live my time and
I’m dreamin’ for life
I’ll fill my glass again
Things for my sake, f*ck off((This refers to people giving advice like: “I’m saying this for your sake …”))
Whatever you told me((This should probably mean: “No matter what you told me”))
Whatever you like((This should probably mean: “No matter what you like”))
Verse 2)
I don’t check the time. I always look at my time,
at this moment only, because now is only now
Nobody knows what will happen
but no matter what it is, it has to be committed for us to find out what comes next
They say, “Laugh to be happy.” Don’t make me laugh
I’m all grown-up, I enjoy the bitter taste too now, I leave out the sugar
Who can’t say lame words of consolation?
Put away those painkillers that work only for a while
If it’s youth because it hurts, who pays the hospital bills?((Reference to the book “아프니까 청춘이다” [Because It Hurts It Is Youth] by professor Kim Nando))
Where do I have the time to be hurting? I can barely pay the rent
Although we’re the same from the outside, we’re all different inside anyway. That guy’s always been living well
And instead of talking bad about others, I prefer using that time to do my thing
I shake off the pubertal worries I sometimes have
Without me, not a single existence has any meaning
I give it a go and see what happens, we only got one life
If I’m certain, I even run in front of a red light, like a bull
Hook: Mayson The Soul)
Bridge)
They just don’t have knives, [but] the world is full of murderers
It’s our reality that we have to do what we’re told if we want to live
Evil editing,((Either a direct reference to SMTM’s evil editing or he is using the term in general)) the law of the jungle, adapt or resign
The envelope with a mere few pennies of salary, a tranquilizer gun pointed at your brain
When a poor man loses his temper, it’s a bother
A singing beggar begging for food, [I’m] just treated like a beggar
I am being completely avoided, something like a revolution will never happen anyway
[I] shut up and go earn money
Hook: Mayson The Soul)
