BACK IN THE DAYS
(Lyrics by Philipp Janoske/Hubi Hofmann)
and back in the days when we were young
already acquainted with the guns
toy pistols, plastic swords, and knives
I never would've thought you could take a life
from now on nothing's like it was before
and I had been the one who just got knocked down by a closing door
I swear I won't be led astray
but no one is prepared for such a twist of fate
and back in the days when we were young
you pointed your gun at me just for fun
I never would've thought that you pulled the trigger
I’m afraid those innocent days are gone
we used to share one soul
suddenly another twist of fate and friend turned foe
all betrayers must pay their dues
and I revised the view on people that I thought I knew
seems like I've hardly ever known you till the day we walked into that building on the corner of the street
I can still hear that poor man screaming, see your face while you were aiming then my ears began to bleed
while I was paralyzed in shock you had already passed some blocks and left me in the lurch again
they put me into ball and chain, all my resistance was in vain - the shit hit me before it hit the fan
