Früher war besser [English translation]

[Shneezin]

When we were children, I mean really small children

Then we, in fact, didn't go to bed very late, although we

Were on holiday every day of the month, together with butler and staff, plus a Carrera track

Go off and drive, the most important thing is that the cars crash

And we have the fun which we usually forget

Because the time and the people, which are much faster today

Only stress us out with shit; back then we used to think

We'd be the coolest at eighteen

But then we didn't know what it was like to be grown up

Back then we used to say "dumb" and "stupid", getting drunk seemed boring

We preferred Pokémon, come with me into my cushion fort and I'll show you my world.

There, peace and war or politics

Only exist in video games, but never with Shneezin

So remember, the time, you won't get it back

Dude, remember that time, because as kids we were happy

[Chorus]

As long as there was a movie on, nothing else mattered

We drew on the walls in the room

There was nobody who told you "Do this or that!"

For money, you have no choice

Back then it was just FKK

Really small and not even hairy

But the girls were still there

Back then it was better

[Mike]

We were small but oh, no shit was too stupid

Come and throw the stone to kill some time until someone cries, stupid

We knew exaclty that dad would always come and get us

And a smack on the bum - ah, go off, of course

Everyday, that's how you do it, right?

Kindergarten pictures - Picasso's son

Mum is making me a sandwich, I'm catching a Pokémon

Off to school were nonsense comes from grown-ups

Learned a few things, but the right things the wrong way

Which you realise by now when the real shit comes closer

Don't give a fuck about school - that was worth repeating a year

When I do something, I do it properly, so I'll repeat even more

Get baked and learn

For my driving license, because you can at least drive with that

Hey, tell me, what more do you want? I'm a real cool fucker

Now I'm standing by the oven making pizza margherita

[Chorus]

As long as there was a movie on, nothing else mattered

We drew on the walls in the room

There was nobody who told you "Do this or that!"

For money, you have no choice

Back then it was just FKK

Really small and not even hairy

But the girls were still there

Back then it was better

[Chorus (pitched)]

As long as there was a movie on, nothing else mattered

We drew on the walls in the room

There was nobody who told you "Do this or that!"

For money, you have no choice

Back then it was just FKK

Really small and not even hairy

But the girls were still there

Back then it was better

[Chorus](2x)

As long as there was a movie on, nothing else mattered

We drew on the walls in the room

There was nobody who told you "Do this or that!"

For money, you have no choice

Back then it was just FKK

Really small and not even hairy

But the girls were still there

Back then it was better
