Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Life is very different
For a winner in a crowd
Winner in a crowd
The secrets are so hidden out
Smell of fear and hate
Generated by all those around
I wanna break away
But the tension's too strong
I wanna go on holiday
But the price is the pot
See, life is very difficult
For a winner in a crowd
Sometimes in the night
I wish I was far away
Back then I realised
People scared to be anything
I wanna close my eyes
And be like the rest
I mean, nobody wants to die
But they possibly do
See, life is very intricate
For a winner in a crowd
Life becomes the movies
And everyone has a role
It's easy being the actors
When the combine's the only star
ย
Selling newspapers
Out on the dale
Evening shop falls
High street girls
ย
Inside ten
We're running the future
Far away
In a distant land
ย
We're all right
The night still won't be
No one to hurt us
Except ourselves
ย
