We Are Us

You’re such a down in
your wig and your tights
You look so silly, silly tonight
Trying to be like your favorite star
Why don’t you stay
just the way that you are
Be you, don’t try living a lie
We too are true! Never a lie
We are true
(Chorus)
Who are you? We are us!
Be a man you can trust
Being who you are is
the key to yourself
Who are you? We are us!
What is the sense of a second hang life
That’s no solution — it’s a disguise
Just set your own personality free
Look in the mirror
and find your identity
(Repeat 2nd verse)
(Chorus)
(Solo: Axel, Andy)
Don’t pretend that
you’re someone you’re not
Pride in yourself, man, that means a lot
Stick to your guns,
do what you can do best
And you will find that’s
the best way to have success
(Repeat 2nd verse)
(Chorus)
I can’t rest 'til I’ve discovered why —
we live and die
Desperation’s driving me insane —
pain in my brain
(Chorus)
It’s such a mystery
What is the key to
the meaning of life?
I have to be sure
What are we living for?
It’s such a mystery
But I’ll uncover the meaning of life
What’s the use of fighting for rebirth-
What is it worth?
Born to live the dreams of our parents-
What is the sense?
If your life is from above
There’s no need for making love
Be the best that you can be
Working for the family
A weekend escape is only fantasy —
Life isn’t free
So I work in hopes I’ll get away —
Maybe one day
(Chorus)
(Solo: Axel, Andy)
Sometimes I think that life’s a game —
But who’s to blame?
Or is life for love and charity? -
I disagree
Life is just a money grab
Taking all that’s to be had
I can never be complete
Everybody wants a piece
Will I ever find some happiness? -
Before my death
But what if there’s an afterlife —
In Paradise?
(Chorus)
The end of the mystery
Think for yourself
