Hello, Alright, You Got That?

[Verse 1]
You think life's more fun with culture
Lessons learnt in hallowed halls
Without the jingling and the jangling
And the stares of your local mall
Well, I saw the ancient frat boy
Yeah, I soaked in all its glow
Skin so taut and free of ink
Surfing waves on its torso

[Chorus]
Hello (hallo), alright (alles klar), you got that? (natürlich)
Life keeps moving, it's like that (So ist das)
Love from you, but I feel blue
Maybe life's just like that

[Verse 2]
You can lead me to culture
But you can't make me think
Or you can lead a drink to my hand
And I'll be sure to make it sink
Life's a game, a game of chance
You gotta roll if you wanna win
Nothing less, nothing more
A la mode, or a has-been

[Chorus]
Hello (hallo), alright (allеs klar), you got that? (natürlich)
Life keeps moving, it's like that (So ist das)
Love from you, but I feel bluе
Maybe life's just like that

[Bridge]
Gold in the air, a road leading south
Time to pretend, modern-day Strauss
Time's running out, living a lie
I'm just as empty as those other guys
What's all the fuss? Living a lie
What if the future's hanging around?

[Verse 3]
Cold in the air, heart in your mouth
Give it a crack, what's getting you down?
I'm half as wise, I bear no pride
What if the future's hanging around?
Time's running out, what's all the fuss?
Living a lie, holding you now
A buckle, a flaw, a heart in your mouth
What if the future's hanging around?
