In a world like this

Van Langen


You say you`re vegetarian 
- why do you eat my flesh - 
why do you eat my brain 
my nerves and all the rest? 
I took away your needles, 
I took away your spoons, 
gave you a better life, 
was acting like a fool. 
I met you with a black eye, 
you`ve got hurt on a door 
your cats they scratched your back 
and you fell on the floor. 
You know it wasn`t easy 
to get you out of this 
and you know sucking`s easier 
than a simple kiss. 

I gave you new dimensions, 
gave you home and love 
I gave you hope and freedom, 
closed you in my heart 
but love means nothing 
- in a world like this. 

You tell me I`m so good, 
you tell me, I`m so wise, 
you never fell in love, 
were always cold as ice. 
So many promises 
I know are hard to keep, 
do you know what I feel 
when nightmares kill your sleep? 

I gave you new dimensions, 
gave you home and love 
I gave you hope and freedom, 
closed you in my heart 
but love means nothing 
- in a world like this. 

Maybe I am to good 
and you can`t work it out, 
maybe you need your bangs 
and assholes around. 
You say that you don`t want, 
don`t want to go insane 
every look in the mirror, 
every scar remains. 
And if your promises 
will all turn into lies, 
I won`t get broken, 
I`ve seen death through all my live. 
I`m really sorry for you, 
but what else can I do, 
when love means nothing 
in a world like this to you? 
It`s so easy, it`s so easy for you now, 
it`s not easy, cause you`ve got to life somehow 
You`re new old job- prostitution on the street
