Whenever I think about them and their lives, oh yeah,
I feel their madness again and again, oh yeah.
They want everything without its consequence,
They treat beings how they never wanna be treated.

Whenever I phil'sophize 'bout the whole world, oh yeah,
I ever get sad, 'cause all is so bad, oh yeah.
Ev'rything that seems so nice has got its failing.
So there is bad luck and we are damned to be mournful!

Whenever the trees fly off,
Whenever the earth stops moving,
Whenever the wind blows so frightful,
Whenever the ants are as tall as you and me ...

Whenever I dream of times that are better, oh yeah,
Soon it's all over, because I awake, oh yeah.
But nevertheless I love to have my good dreams.
That's why I like to stay in my bed the whole morning.

Whenever the trees fly off,
Whenever the earth stops moving,
Whenever the wind blows so frightful,
Whenever the ants are as tall as you and me ...
