Lyrics:

[English]

Finished with my woman

'Cause she couldn't help me with my mind

People think I'm insane

Because I am frowning all the time (come on out)

...

All day long I think of things

But nothing seems to satisfy

Think I'll lose my mind

If I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me?

Occupy my brain

Oh, yeah (let me see your hands)

...

I need someone to show me

The things in life that I can't find

I can't see the things that make true happiness

I must be blind

...

Alright, let me hear you, come on

Alright, show it then, come on

Louder, come on

You ain't fucking loud enough, come on

Come on

Now I've heard

Louder, come on, put your fucking balls into it

Alright

...

Make a joke and I will sigh

And you will laugh and I will cry

Happiness I cannot feel

And love to me is so unreal

...

And so as you hear these words

Telling you now of my state

I tell you to enjoy life

I wish I could, but it's too late

Thank you, good night

You are the fuckin' coolest, man

I love you all

We love you, good night, God bless you

...
