[Chorus]
You're trying to outsmart life and your very self
Aoooh Aaaah
You're trying to outsmart life and your very self
Aoooh Aaaah
[Verse 1]
Dreams of fame and riches
Disappear up a rolled-up hundred bill
Discussions until morning, worth a Nobel prize
In the morning, search for a bobble
To muffle the truth and reality
To make your nicknames: asshole and scumbag
Float away, like a Venetian gondola
Back you go, to the rolled-up dollar
Rolled-up euro, rolled-up pounds
Companies liquidated, real estate sold out
Just to come honoured to the club
Like a fully anonymous person
It helps you and kills you at the same time
First it hugs you, then bites like a viper
You get to the top and start falling
Have you forgotten that you cannot fly?
Now your money will not help you anymore
Deteriorating health stops the idyllic ride
Life is a bank that fools its customers
Lending to you when young, executing the debt when you're old
[Chorus]
You're trying to outsmart life and your very self
Aoooh Aaaah
You're trying to outsmart life and your very self
Aoooh Aaaah
[Verse 2]
It's a neverending story
Like a war, victory first!
Over corpses to the goal
Fame ensnares you like a glue trap
Love, medal, awards, divorce
Nothingness, peaks, drugs, detox
Doping, high score, comeback, news
Photoshoots, movies, your run of luck
Doorbell, nerves, panic, audit
You spend a few grand on bribes
It's over, sucker, your career's over!
The high society doesn't give a damn about you now
End of scandal, court sentence, prison
Smoking, long walks, stupid chit-chat
Cell, pen, paper, biography:
Bets, corruption, drunkenness, mafia!
This is your small bill of conscience
You're a loser after leaving the prison
Behind bars you're a loser too
Your whole life turned upside down
[Chorus]
You're trying to outsmart life and your very self
Aoooh Aaaah
