We are trapped And there is no way out Freedom is just a word And the more you know about The deeper you sink Into quicksand The heavier the chains That keep you bound
You think you are free But that is not true Every decision you make Is just partly your own The more you try To break out The more I see That you are not free
It is just a question of feeling And sometimes I just close my eyes Just a question of feeling And in my fantasy I am still alive
The only chance To stay partly free Is to keep some childhood fantasy And so I try To stay young Although I know That my chance is already gone
