Second Hand Life Songtext
von Stan Van Samang

I thought I found the answer
To the question of the past
But now I don′t remember
How relevant it was
We argued 'bout this issue
In a discussion long ago
But now I don′t remember
What I wanted you to know

Oh, oh
How we tried
To prove ourselves right

We are breathing
Secondhand life
We exhale our love and anger
Floating around
We are breathing
Secondhand life
So we should help each other, baby
To open our minds


We were heading for perfection
But somehow we missed the boat
Now we even don't remember
For whom we used to vote
We rehearsed in bars and temples
An everlasting speech
But I guess no one remembers
'Cause the whole world fell asleep

Oh, oh
How we tried
To prove ourselves right

We are breathing
Secondhand life
We exhale our love and anger
Floating around
We are breathing
Secondhand life
So we should help each other, baby
To open our minds

Everyone′s connected
By the flavors of the world
And our colors get reflected
In the textures of our shirts
We adapt the messages
Of the prophets of the past
You′d think we thought it over
But still we tend to act too fast


Still we tend to act too fast

Still we tend to act too fast
Still we tend to act too fast

We are breathing
Secondhand life
We exhale our love and anger
Floating around
We are breathing
Secondhand life
So we should help each other, baby
To open our minds

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
