[English]

In this life, in this life, in this life

In this oh sweet life

We're coming in from the cold

...

We're coming in, coming in, coming in

Coming in from the cold

...

It's you, it's you, it's you I'm talking to

Well you, it's you, it's you

It's you I'm talking to now

Why do you look so sad and foresaken

When one door is closed

Don't you know another is open

Would you let the system

Make you kill your brotherman

No dread no

Would you make the system

Make you kill your brotherman

No dread no

Would you make the system

Get on top of your head again

No dread no

Well the biggest man you ever

Did see was just a baby

In this life, in this life

In this oh sweet life

We're coming in from the cold

...

We're coming in, coming in, coming in

We're coming in from the cold

...

It's life, it's life, it's life

Coming in from the cold

...

We're coming in, coming in, coming in

Coming in from the cold

...

It's you, it's you, it's you I'm talking to

Well you, it's you, it's you

It's you I'm talking to now

Why do you look so sad and foresaken

Don't you know

When one door is closed

Don't you know many more is open

Would you let the system

No dread no

Would you let the system

Get on top of your head

No dread no

Would you let the system

Make you kill your brotherman

No dread no

The biggest man you ever

Did see was once a baby

In this life, in this life, in this life

In this oh sweet life

We're coming in from the cold

We're coming in, coming in, coming in

...

Coming in from the cold

...

We're coming in, coming in, coming in

...
