Songtext Man Die Toten Hosen

Man

You ask me what my name is
Cause you dont know who I am
I'll you all about myself
Then you'll understand
You wish that we were strangers
But I've got other plans

I'm your lover and your best friend, your biggest enemy
I'll stab you in the back while you are shaking hands with me
I'm nothing that you wanted but I'm everything you need
I'm good and I'm evil
I'm love and I'm hate
Sometimes I'm the real thing
Sometimes I'm a fake
I'm honestly a liar
I'm your history, your fate

I'm the hunter and the hunted, Im always on the run
I'm cowardice and courage, anxiety and fun
I'm always out there searching but I'm never know what for
I'm the winner and I'm the loser in the same sick war

Now you know my name
Now you know who I am
I am you, you are me
My name is Man

I talk about my feelings with a mask upon my face
Declare myself as healthy, intelligent and sane
Control my live so carefully I slowly suffocate

My hands are full of blood, my heart is full of gold
I'm law and I'm religion, I never can grow old
I've crowned myself the king and Mother Earth's my throne

I'm longing for the sunlight, I'm heading for the moon
I'm turning in a circle but I think I'm moving on
I live here and I die here within a single breath
I'm body and I'm spirit, I'm saving and condemned

Now you know my name
Now you know who I am
I am you, you are me
My name is Man

Now you know my name
Now you know who I am
I am you, you are me
My name is Man

You know my name (I am you, you are me)
You know who I am (I am you, you are me)
I am you, you are me (I am you, you are me)
My name is Man
