General / Off-Topic What song are you listening to right now :)
- Thread starter Jex =TE=
- Start date
Probably the most underappreciated track by my favourite band. I really like this 
Not exactly the most profound lyrics but surprisingly catchy...

Showdown At Big Sky
Billion Dollar Babies
Edit: Lyrics (rough translation)
There were two twelve year old boys
They held their mothers hand, the day their fathers passed away
And they wiped their tears away and went out to meet the world separately
Without quite knowing if they were on the right path
Just do what you can
Do what you have to
Do like a man
Do what you want
Do what the others do
Not what they say
Do what has to be done
And keep on doing it until you die
As long as you survive
As long as you survive
And those two boys went out to
Catch the day and found their ways without asking anyone why
And as the years passed
Their lives were lived step by step
Both of them were apprenticed
Both got a job
Both found a way
Both did well
Both met a girl
Both became fathers
Both did well
Could things even have been better?
Then both of them got divorced
Both found someone else
Both moved to a new house
In a bigger city
They both did their very best
Basking their wings like big and strong birds
But while one rose steadily upwards
The other one just fell further and further down
And as one made his twentieth million
The other finally got his disability pension
When one drank champagne, the other did methadone
What was the difference between the two of them?
Just do what you can
Do what you have to
Do like a man
Do what you want
Do what the others do
Not what they say
Do what has to be done
And keep on doing it until you die
As long as you survive
As long as you survive
There are two grizzled boys
When they look at their reflection, there's a lot they don't understand
As long as you survive
Just do what you can
As long as you survive
Just do what you can
Do what you have to
Do like a man
Do what you want
Do what the others do
Not what they say
Do what has to be done
And keep on doing it until you die
Do what you can
Do what you have to
Do like a man
Do what you want
Do what the others do
Not what they say
Do what has to be done
And keep on doing it until you die
They held their mothers hand, the day their fathers passed away
And they wiped their tears away and went out to meet the world separately
Without quite knowing if they were on the right path
Just do what you can
Do what you have to
Do like a man
Do what you want
Do what the others do
Not what they say
Do what has to be done
And keep on doing it until you die
As long as you survive
As long as you survive
And those two boys went out to
Catch the day and found their ways without asking anyone why
And as the years passed
Their lives were lived step by step
Both of them were apprenticed
Both got a job
Both found a way
Both did well
Both met a girl
Both became fathers
Both did well
Could things even have been better?
Then both of them got divorced

As long as you survive

Do what you can
Do what you have to
Do like a man

Not what they say
Do what has to be done
And keep on doing it until you die
