Weck Mich Auf

We live in a land where there are more barriers than paths,
more walls than bridges, the mood is negative,
and the old folks ask why I smoke weed every day,
why me and my whole generation are so depressed,
we're surrounded every day by the living dead,
surrounded by signs that say: No Trespassing!
Surrounded by skinheads who take lives of Turks and Blacks,
while cops stand by, avoiding the problems,
surrounded by yes-men who just repeat what they hear,
cold dark blood pumps through their veins,
surrounded by child molesters who barely get probation,
same as the damn Nazis whose victims lie underground.
Does this country really have nothing more to offer
than a few million assholes with hemorrhoid-filled faces,
who claim to love this land but aren't very satisfied,
fits your frustration or why are you still here?
I gotta distance myself from all you spineless losers,
all the bullshitters who stress me out every day,
it's the same people at the top who are stuffing their faces,
and minorities become majorities and still get forgotten!

Wake me up please from this nightmare,
people can't see the forest for the trees,
they keep trying to convince us,
that it's still possible to live free here,
Wake me up please from this nightmare,
people can't see the forest for the trees,
You and I and he and she and it are better off if we help ourselves.

I'm the guy who leaves the party early,
because I can't celebrate while living in Babylon,
we've got bad cards, ruled by psychopaths,
managed by bureaucrats who have no feelings,
controlled by corrupt cops who are often sadists,
suspects looking for racist statistics,
fed by companies that poisoned us for decades,
informed by media that report too late,
fuck a car accident, damage from THC,
we'll all have mad cow disease soon, and you're still looking at your EKG,
before your heart stops,
and thinking about a big steak, damn right I want that,
full-on brainwashing, 24/7, and Big Brother beats and rapes Mother Nature,
those damn politicians serve the dark side like Darth Vader,
and have a horizon of about one square meter, no opinion of their own,
but ten advisors,
their stupid bullshit sounds like they have a speech impediment,
hope the good voters keep happily paying taxes,
but I'm here to sound the alarm,
like a smoke detector!

Wake me up please from this nightmare,
people can't see the forest for the trees,
they keep trying to convince us,
that it's still possible to live free here,
Wake me up please from this nightmare,
people can't see the forest for the trees,
You and I and he and she and it are better off if we help ourselves.

What would Schröder say about this? I think I'll call him up, tell him:
Gerhard, take a look at our youth,
1/3 stares with their mouths open at their PlayStation,
the second third parties hard as a rave nation,
hooked on devilish pharmaceutical products,
because they didn't know what these damn drugs meant,
the third third hangs around aimlessly on German streets,
kids at 13 already snorting this white stuff,
who have no goals or dreams, and those are usually expensive goods,
cannot live, not further than tonight,
thinking if worse comes to worst, they can just restart like Nintendo,
fuck it if they die soon, who wants to get old,
in this land where there are more barriers than paths,
more walls than bridges - the mood is negative,
for the old folks: that's why we smoke weed every day,
and that's why me and my whole generation are so depressed.

Wake me up please from this nightmare,
people can't see the forest for the trees,
they keep trying to convince us,
that it's still possible to live free here,
Wake me up please from this nightmare,
people can't see the forest for the trees,
You and I and he and she and it are better off if we help ourselves.

Wake me up please from this nightmare,
people can't see the forest for the trees,
they keep trying to convince us,
that it's still possible to live free here,
Wake me up please from this nightmare,
people can't see the forest for the trees,
You and I and he and she and it are better off if we help ourselves.
