Spring Awakening - The Bitch Of Living (feat. Jonathan Groff) lyrics

rate me

Moritz:

God, I dreamed there was an angel,

Who could hear me through the wall,

As I cried out, like, in Latin:

"This is so not life at all.

Help me out, out of this nightmare."

Then I heard her silver call--

She said: "Just give it time, kid.

I come to one and all."

She said: "Give me that hand, please,

And the itch you can't control.

Let me teach you how to handle

All the sadness in your soul.

Oh, we'll work that silver magic,

Then we'll aim it all the wall."

She said: "Love may make you blind, kid,

But I wouldn't mind at all."

All:

It's the bitch of living.

Otto:

The bitch, just the bitch.

All:

With nothing but your hand.

Otto:

Just the bitch, yeah.

All:

Just the bitch of living

As someone you can't stand.

Georg:

See, each night it's, like, fantastic--

Tossing, turning without rest,

'Cause my days at the piano--

With my teacher and her breasts;

And the music's, like, the one thing

I can't even get at all,

And those breasts!

I mean, God, please,

Just let those apples fall.

All:

It's the bitch of living.

Otto:

The bitch!

All:

With nothing going on,

Nothing going on.

Just the bitch of living,

Asking: What went wrong?

Do they think we want this?

Oh, who knows!

Ernst:

See, there's showering in gym class...

Hanschen:

Bobby Maler, he's the best--

Look so nasty in those khakis...

Ernst:

God, my whole life's, like, some test.

Otto:

Then there's Marianna Wheelan--

As if she'd return my call.

Hanschen:

It's like, just kiss some ass, man--

Then you can screw 'em all

Melchior:

It's the bitch of living--

And living in your head.

It's the bitch of living,

And sensing God is dead.

All:

It's the bitch of living,

And trying to get ahead.

It's the bitch of living--

Just getting out of bed.

It's the bitch of living--

And getting what you get.

It’s the bitch of living--

Melchior:

And knowing this is it.

All:

God, is this it?

This can't be it.

Oh God, what a bitch!
