11. SONG I have never been a wolf fierce I have always been that ugly duckling That was hiding under a shell Who was keeping his heart and that believed in tales. Because the world has made me empty Because I bark, because I bite, because I am naughty I am thief with feelings Because don’t mind anything. It doesn’t mind anything. It doesn’t mind anything…

12. Because I wash my hands, I get rid of it Yours is all the same to me I just mind my own business I am a thief with feelings. Because don’t mind anything. And each one on his side (always the same) Instead of helping each other we just get over it And, what do we hug each other? If we know that everything is false. Because the world has made me empty Because I bark, because I bite, because I am naughty I am thief with feelings. Because don’t mind anything.

13. Because I wash my hands, I get rid of it Yours is all the same to me I just mind my own business I am a thief with feelings Because don’t mind anything. Because the world has made me empty Because I bark, because I bite, because I am naughty I am thief with feelings. Because don’t mind anything. It doesn’t mind anything. It doesn’t mind anything…
