Brot und Spiele [English translation]

When I watch TV today

Then I often don’t know

Whether I should laugh or cry

One thing is certain,

The barrel is full

I just hear phrases and slogans

Are lied openly

RTL1 should be enough for us

Bread and games - so much pleasure

Bread and games for the masses

Football for pastime

Give us more naked tits

Billboards and media hype

As soon as a triviality happens

It’s already put on Twitter

In doubt, loud and fast, even better

Than deliberate and substantive

It’s deceiving, it’s yelled

The problem is that nobody wants to read it so long 2

Bread and games for the masses

Football for pastime

Give us more naked tits

Billboards and media hype

Bread and games for the masses

Football for pastime

Give us more naked tits

Billboards and media hype

Sweep caviar onto all the streets

That the mob slips and falls

Give the rich more wealth

And the rest

Bread for the world

1. a German TV network2. TLDR is an English abbreviation meaning “too long didn’t read”
