Lyrics: The Bitch of Living [John Gallagher Jr/Boys]

[Moritz:]
God, I dreamed there was an angel
Who could hear me through the wall
As I cried out, like, in Latin "This is so not life at all
Help me out, out of this nightmare."
Then I heard her silver call
She said, "Just give it time, kid. I come to one and all."

She said, "Give me that hand, please, and the itch you can't control.
Let me teach you how to handle all the sadness in your soul.
Oh, we'll work that silver magic,
Then we'll aim it all the wall."
She said, "Love may make you blind, kid, but I wouldn't mind at all."

[All:]
It's the bitch of living

[Otto:]
The bitch, just the bitch

[All:]
With nothing but your hand

[Otto:]
Just the bitch, yeah

[All:]
Just the bitch of living
As someone you can't stand

[Georg:]
See, each night it's, like, fantastic
Tossing, turning without rest
'Cause my days at the piano
With my teacher and her breasts
And the music's, like, the one thing
I can't even get at all
And those breasts!
I mean, God, please, just let those apples fall

[All:]
It's the bitch of living

[Otto:]
The bitch!

[All:]
With nothing going on, nothing going on
Just the bitch of living
Asking: What went wrong?
Do they think we want this?
Oh, who knows!

[Ernst:]
See, there's showering in gym class

[Hanschen:]
Bobby Maler, he's the best
Look so nasty in those khakis

[Ernst:]
God, my whole life's like some test

[Otto:]
Then there's Marianna Wheelan
As if she'd return my call

[Hanschen:]
It's like, just kiss some ass, man
Then you can screw 'em all

[Melchior:]
It's the bitch of living
And living in your head
It's the bitch of living
And sensing God is dead

[All:]
It's the bitch of living
And trying to get ahead
It's the bitch of living
Just getting out of bed
It's the bitch of living
And getting what you get
It's the bitch of living

[Melchior:]
And knowing this is it

[All:]
God, is this it?
This can't be it
Oh God, what a bitch!
