lyrics

Why has everyone a deathwish because everybody talks about their crappy live
I don’t mind if I seem selfish – I’m freakin’ happy about that I’m still alive

Why would you ever change?
Your friends don’t care anyway

If you can’t let it go ‘cause you’re too proud to show, yeah yeah yeah
That you’d rather smile even just for a while, yeah yeah yeah
And that you’d like to sing a song
Celebrating all night long

Poor poor boy, poor poor girl

Why has everyone a deathwish? Is it a thing to sing sinister songs?
Maybe you’re lacking some friend to laugh with
Who are having your back when you’re under attack

Why would you ever change?
Noone cares anyway

If you can’t let it go ‘cause you’re too proud to show, yeah yeah yeah
That you’d rather smile even just for a while, yeah yeah yeah
And that you’d like to sing a song
Celebrating all night long

Poor poor boy, poor poor girl

Please, please, please don’t be so negative
These, these, these accusations are true but you already knew that

If you can’t let it go ‘cause you’re too proud to show, yeah yeah yeah
That you’d rather smile even just for a while, yeah yeah yeah
And that you’d like to sing a song
Celebrating all night long

Poor poor boy, poor poor girl
Poor poor boy, poor poor girl
