The way it was   It used to be   Well it had to change   As we all could see   We're twice as big   And Yet so small   Now we have to share   Here in Germany      When skins broke up   As Lenin broke down   Driving fast   Through united towns   Clubs being closed   And fights ahead   Now we have to share   So the Chancellor said      Life isn´t easy in Germany      Life isn´t easy in Germany      Such boring days   For kids in the East   Where should they stay   How to be pleased   The freedom of speech   Playing democracy   Boy, Life isn´t easy in Germany      Life isn´t easy in Germany   Can't you see?   Life isn´t easy in Germany      Das also waren Deutsche   Die noch nichts zu sagen hatten   Aber reden durften
