Me, newborn, not at all sweet, but mom seems satisfied
Me at two, why am I looking so mean, my parents are already divorced
Me at three, me at four, mom and I alone here
Me with the birthday cake, laughing because I just don't get it

Me with grandpa, perfectly healthy, me playing with grandpa's dog
Me with the dog in the flower bed, me with the ear sewn back on
Me in the south, sunburned, my very first vacation

Me on the beach (me on the beach)
And me on the beach (me on the beach)

Me at school, first day, me with the teacher I like
Me at the blackboard, ABC, first report card quite ok
Me visiting the boxing club, me with a broken nose
Me, covered in pimples, on my way to my first date

Me with Nina, pants bulging, me without Nina, heavily crying
Me smoking weed, totally cool, me with Peter, party gay
Me at a demo: "Nazis out!" Me again in the hospital
Me with high school diploma in hand, me with my backpack

Me on the beach (me on the beach)
And me on the beach (me on the beach)
Me on the beach (me on the beach)
And me on the beach (me on the beach)

Me at university, that was quick: ten semesters of business administration
Me with a degree, great joy, me unemployed for a year
Me applying for Hartz IV, my landlord is kicking me out
Me unwashed, unshaved, tried everything, but nothing worked

Me under a dark bridge, me, as I bend down for cigarettes
Me, as I lean against the wall, me now without front teeth
Me, as I freeze in winter, I see everything again before me
Me as a child holding mom's hand, me with Nina, happy

Me on the beach (me on the beach)
And me on the beach (me on the beach)
Me on the beach (me on the beach)
And me on the beach (me on the beach)
Me on the beach (me on the beach)
And me on the beach (me on the beach)
Me on the beach (me on the beach)
And me on the beach (me on the beach)
