Zivot brzo prolazi

da li ces u pakao il' mozda u raj
dje si bio, sta si i s kim radio
koliko si pobr'o, zena zbario
Ref.
Mozda tek kad umres nitko nece zaliti
i na tvome grobu svijecu paliti
godine prolete, vec si starac ti
a mladost se nikad nece vratiti
Zivot brzo prolazi, svemu dodje kraj
da li ces u pakao il' mozda u raj
koliko si hladnog piva popio
prije nego sto si oci sklopio
Ref. 2x
Zivot brzo prolazi
Brkovi's 'Zivot brzo prolazi' stands as a defining anthem of Yugoslav rock, capturing the raw energy and existential urgency of the late 1980s. Released during a pivotal era when the genre was transitioning from pure punk to a more melodic, socially conscious sound, the track exemplifies the band's signature blend of aggressive guitar work and driving rhythms. The song reflects a broader cultural sentiment in the region, where youth were grappling with political stagnation and a desire for change. As one of the group's most recognizable compositions, it remains a staple in the repertoire of fans who appreciate the band's contribution to the post-Yugoslav musical landscape. Its enduring popularity underscores its effectiveness as a vehicle for expressing collective frustration and hope.
