Seven years old
with a look like a
Baader Meinhof member
the future is set
and there is no time for regrets
why should he remember
when there is nothing to forget

Years go by
he is a son without a father
who could teach him right from wrong
living a life that makes him look strong

Fourteen years old
cruising around in a stolen car
and his mind makes him believe
that he is going to reach so far
doesn't give a damn about school
forgets his mother and all what she has done for him
stays out late and steals everything
that comes his way
doesn't care about the alarm bell
just runs like hell

First night down in the police cell
oh yes he remembers it well
when he promised himself
this is the first and last time
this life does not fit for a boy like him
he has to act right so it never happens again
now he is grown he has spent a lot of time in jail
it is not the first time someone like him tries and fails
so take good care of your life my dear friend
you will only have this one
and there will be no use in crying
when you realize that you are dying
so fast by your own mistakes

Seven years old
with an insecure future ahead
think about your children and be careful
because there is danger all around
if you leave them alone
