Chefket - Aufstehen (English Translation) lyrics

[Intro]
You’re so confused
The realist is confused

[Hook 1]
Get up get up
Get up get up
Get up get up
Get up

[Part 1]
He wakes up early
No quickie with his wife
Switches off the alarm
The weather is grey - again
Get’s in the car, radio on
Way too much traffic, traffic jam
Burnout, cause he’s burning inside
So much stress for a boss he doesn’t even know
Weekend holiday breathing time
The question is:

[Bridge]
How can I do what I love and make money out of it
Working for the children or working for myself
And the sweat starts running
Just to make a bit of money
Always working, like his parents did for him
We’ve come full circle
No one gets rich
Tomorrow he will
[Hook 2]
Get up get up
Get up get up
Get up get up
Get up

[Part 2]
She get’s up when she wants, no pupils
The world is complex - the picture not simple
Nothing’s perfect, everything improvised but she’s got it
And can be what she wants
Freedom keeps her young
Freedom keeps her young
Doubts always come around, except she turns a blind eye
She doesn’t know for how long her heart keeps pumping
She’s transforming society, her world is colorful
She’s got no money but lives for her art
But she wants to be a mommy before she gets too old
To cope with that is hard
Her parents say: Do!
Her girlfriends already did
Gravity doesn’t apply for her
Until the question comes again

[Bridge 2]
How can I do what I love and make money out of it
Working for the children or working for myself
And the sweat starts running
Just to make a bit of money
Always working, like his parents did for him
We’ve come full circle
No one gets rich
Tomorrow she will
[Hook 3]
Get up get up
Get up get up
Get up get up
Get up

[Bridge 3]
Not knowing what we burn for until we know what defines us
And the dirge becomes silent
Find what you love even when the courage disappears
Cause only god knows if tomorrow we will

[Hook 4]
Get up get up
Get up get up
Get up get up
Get up

Not knowing what we burn for
Until we know what defines us
Not knowing what we burn for
Until we know what defines us
