lyrics

WHAT KIND OF LIFE IS THIS?

She lives in a room
struggling with maths and geography.
The phone rings, a boy
invites her to play in the park.
You must learn at home, tell that boy you won’t go to play.
She has no tv, her father says
the truth is only in books.

What kind of life, kind of life is this?
What kind of life, kind of life is this?

And in the dark nights, she dreams about
her friends in the park
and everyone wants to play with her.
There is no grammar or formulas,
there is just friendship
and a lot of smiles.

What kind of life, kind of life is this?
What kind of life, kind of life is this?

And all the dark nights, she dreams about
her friends in the park
and everyone wants to play with her.
There is no grammar or formulas,
there is just friendship
and a lot of smiles.

I want to study how to be happy.
I want to study how make my own decisions
and that is all.
