LYRICS:

When we all give the power
We all give the best
Every minute in the hour
We don't think about the rest

And we all get the power
We all get the best
When everyone gives everything
Then everyone everything will get
Life is life!

Life is life
When we all feel the power
Life is life
When we all feel the pain
Life is life
It's the feeling of the people
Life is life
It is the feeling of the land.

When we all give the power
We all give the best
Every minute in the hour
We don't think about the rest
And everyone gives everything
And every soul everyone will feel
Life is life!

And we're all glad it's over
We thought it would last
Every minute of the future
Is a memory of the past
Coz' we gave all the power
We gave all the best
And everyone lost everything
And perished with the rest.
Life is life!

I was born and raised in Yugoslavia and its still unbelievable to me that something like Laibach ever existed. I remember when they showed up for the first time it was like an earthquake, like a hurricane, leaving all of yugoslav music, art and entertainment scene speechless and shocked

[swervinirvin]

man this guy is soo majestic the water started going upwards when they hit record, no editing needed.

[frankbrinkmann]

Die beste Satire ist die, die einen nicht direkt lachen lässt. Nichts in der Kunst ist momentan so relevant wie Laibach.

[BWPT.]

I played this at my dads funeral after the service. I remember the day he came home with the 12" after hearing it on John Peel's radio show and he would play it full blast, my mum hated it, I loved it!

[davidhoracek]

Every time I come back to this song I think something new. Right now I'm thinking that I'm not going to be one of those who "gave everything" - and still, I'll perish with the rest, probably in some random hospital, about as far from glory as it's possible to get. That thought makes me want to change my life.

[Wonderhussy]

When I start my own independent republic, this will be the national anthem

[MrAtown]

This has been marinating for 8 years Youtube. The world is ready for your algorithm to do it's magic..

[alankelly]

This was the very first track I ever heard by Laibach, actually seeing the video on a local station in Toronto. 32 years later, I'm still a devotee of their unique humour.

[codebreakerbeautiful]

Keeping me sane in 2024. Thank you Gentlemen for this Masterpiece.

[ccxlolz]

Listen to this song once per day to receive the "power".

[Thulesmann]

No matter how often I view this video, I'll never get tired of it! It is a great antidote to depression.

[vinidion]

The greatest cover in the history of covers.

[falchions_n_foccacia]

i think this is the greatest thing i have seen in my entire life. thank you laibach

[vagabundorkchaosmagick-use]

What an absolute masterpiece of a song and video. I used to watch this and all Laibach videos 20 years ago, when I was into arts and stuff. I miss those times.

[ThomasAffoltertevis]

One of the greatest songs and videos in human history.

[profile]

Leave it to Laibach to take the piss out of everyone and everything and sound utterly imposing while doing it. Awesome!

[David-]

Official anthem of everyone not accepting a destiny unworthy of a animal, but still imposed over all of humanity.

[yoxs]

Cette chanson, ce clip, ce groupe sont tout simplement indispensable !

[alexanderplatzberlin]

"And everyone lost everything
and perished
with the rest!
Life is life ..."

[spookymulder]

This is the official anthem for all humanity.
