Blasserdünnerjunge macht sein Job [English translation]

He's back, dude, triggering you again, dude!

Smack, smack for Policeman's Son1

Phone's ringing like crazy, the alarm's been set off

For the guys from programme management

I render washed brains dirty again

Of high educational value like Peter Lustig2

I'm doing my job. Still I'm sitting

At the kebap store every day at noon

Pretty square: a coke, Adana roast

And a lamb roast

You're wanking in your leased BMW 5 series

Looking slightly sad

For I'm beating you at the flag drop

With my Toyota Auris

You call me a jester?

I say: thanks!

As reward, I treat you to

A Carazza3 at the gas station

Look, right where I sit

Credibility crawls, doesn't give a shit4

For I'm crossing borders while I work every day

Like the border patrol

It's just my job, ha-ha

No offense

And fat Vera's sitting in Potsdam5

Looking like an idiot and crying

Why does Pale Thin Boy

Get so much respect?

ProSieben's like: "Defeat Raab"6

I'm like: "Challenge accepted!"

I'm doing my job

Crawl to the underlings, bully the bigwigs

Gags instead of grenades

Jokes instead of missiles

And you're amazed with mouth agape

What a freak this guy is

Unfuckable, like Super Mario when he's powered up after digesting a star

Pale Thin Boy is coming: redneck with a college degree

Pale Thin Boy is coming: love him or hate him

Bzzzt, bzzt, Spiegel Online breaking news vibrating

Pale Thin Boy must've pulled one off again

Pale Thin Boy opens windows to your head

Pale Thin Boy - biceps like Kate Moss

Pale Thin Boy sitting in the front of the bus

A boy's gotta do what a boy's gotta do

I'm doing my job, you think I suck?

Go fuck your models, I've tindered #TeamGinaLisa7

"Huh? Wait a minute. Was that another fake

By Pale Thin Boy"?

Take a hint: if you take me seriously

I'm gonna fuck you over hard

Günther's sucking on my middle finger

Guido Cunt can't take a joke8

The directorship ask their legal department:

"Is that wanker allowed to do that?

Is this really necessary?" I say: obviously it is!

Is this still satire or already a revolution?

Leftists take me for a Nazi

Nazis take me for a leftist

No Monchichi hairdo

Look: receding hairline!

Beatrix von Storch9 calls me

An entertainment instigator

Just because I publically wonder

If Frauke Petry tastes of Marcus Pretzell10

I'm doing my job, you wonder:

Why is that idiot famous?

Then you cry like Staiger11:

"He should stay out of my rap game!"

So, Focus Online, are you generating

Clicks again using my name?

I'm scratching my balls, have a grin

And give zero fucks!

Pale Thin Boy is coming: redneck with a college degree

Pale Thin Boy is coming: love him or hate him

Bzzzt, bzzt, Spiegel Online breaking news vibrating

Pale Thin Boy must've pulled one off again

Pale Thin Boy opens windows to your head

Pale Thin Boy - biceps like Kate Moss

Pale Thin Boy sitting in the front of the bus

A boy's gotta do what a boy's gotta do

I don't give a shit about your hate speech

For I've got a flatrate for my TV license fee12

You think my show's whack and totally gay?

Hey, I've got a flatrate for my TV license fee

Bild.de is using me for click-bait

Fuck that, they've got a flatrate for their TV license fee, too

Everybody's saluting me politely in Bremen North

For I've got a flatrate for my TV license fee

Pale Thin Boy is coming: redneck with a college degree

Pale Thin Boy is coming: love him or hate him

Bzzzt, bzzt, Spiegel Online breaking news vibrating

Not your level of quality? Well... bummer!

Pale Thin Boy, alone in the trenches

Pale Thin Boy, why don't you call Tobi Schlegl's ambulance?13

Pale Thin Boy sitting in the front of the bus

Policman's Son's gotta do what Policeman's Son's gotta do

1. "Policeman's Son", along with "Pale Thin Boy", is one of Böhmermann's rap names.2. Referencing the German educational TV show "Löwenzahn" and its host.3. A small instant meal pizza.4. Untranslateable pun; "am Arsch vorbeigehen" ("to not give a shit") literally means "to walk past s/o's ass".5. References Vera Int-Veen, a former German TV show host. Böhmermann had infiltrated her show and uncovered everything the production team faked about it ("Verafake").6. A former German TV show where show host Stefan Raab squared off against a candidate in a variety of (intellectual and physical) games.7. Complex reference. Gina-Lisa Lohfink, German "it girl", went public about being a victim of sexual abuse; this resulted in a solidarity hashtag "#teamginalisa" which, however, has also been the target of many misogynist postings. Here Böhmermann toys with the idea that he's so devious that you can never be sure what is real and what is one of his meticulously organized fakes.8. Guido Cantz is the current host of "Verstehen Sie Spaß?" (lit. "Can you take a joke?"), the German version of "Candid Camera".9. One of the heads of the German alt-right party AfD ("Alternative für Deutschland")10. The other two heads of the AfD.11. Marcus Staiger, German rap label boss. Böhmermann was criticized by the German rap scene as being a "wannabe".12. In Germany, you pay a monthly license fee for TV and radio. "Flatrate" is a joke here since the fee is the same for everybody anyway.13. Former German TV host who announced he would retire and become a paramedic instead.
