Take it slow, and I´ll light your cigarette, like we did back when
We were young, and didn´t care about those things, that tried to put us down
And left our worries, so very far behind, in a foggy cloud
Now it seems, like they’ve caught up with us again, and we´re stuck with them this time

Now I´ve got a new address, in a world so colourless

And every paper that I read
Is filled with wounds which bleed
And they´re all in black and white
Politicians speaks the truth
And condemns the twisted youth
And it´s all in black and white
And I wonder who is right

When you and me, were five and six years old, and painted the sky blue
We couldn´t guess, that we would be divided by a thing, society calls class
Now it seems, like I´m the peasant dressed in black, and you are the white king
And we´re stuck, in the puppet roles we play, the same from day to day

Life is like a game of chess, in a world so colourless

And every paper that I read
Is filled with wounds which bleed
And they´re all in black and white
Politicians speaks the truth
And condemns the twisted youth
And it´s all in black and white
And I wonder who is right

And I´m trying my very best, to paint a world that´s colourless

but every paper that I read
Is filled with wounds which bleed
And they´re all in black and white
Politicians speaks the truth
And condemns the twisted youth
And it´s all in black and white

but every paper that I read
Is filled with wounds which bleed
And they´re all in black and white
Politicians speaks the truth
And condemns the twisted youth
And it´s all in black and white
And I wonder who is right
