First I am born, then the trouble all begins You know, I learned to use my bitterness before I learned to use my limbs This is not what I was promised when I went to Burger King Why can't I have it my way? Why can't I have everything? I'm baby, gimme what I need (Ich bin ein beginner!) But no more than what you owe me: (Ich bin ein beginner!) Safety and dignity (Ich bin ein beginner!) We need kid gloves, we're all baby (Ich bin ein beginner!) You may always've been a good boy But the world's not good to thee To paraphrase Helen Lovejoy: Won't somebody think of me?! First you are born, then they start in with the spiel They say Life's what you make of it!, you can see right through the zeal Well I don't remember signing anything, I wanna opt out of the deal I'm on out-of-office, autopilot, Jesus take the wheel! I'm baby, gimme what I need (Ich bin ein beginner!) But no more than what you owe me: (Ich bin ein beginner!) Safety and dignity (Ich bin ein beginner!) We need kid gloves, we're all baby (Ich bin ein beginner!) Brace yourself against me maybe we'll escape the worst But in case of loss of cabin pressure, fit your own mask first I'm baby, gimme what I need (Ich bin ein beginner!) But no more than what you owe me: (Ich bin ein beginner!) E.g. Safety and dignity (Ich bin ein beginner!) We need kid gloves, we're all baby (Ich bin ein beginner!)
