L auf der Stirn [English translation]

Why can't i get any of this done, huh?

Why can't i get any of this done, huh?

Why can't i get any of this done, huh?

Why can't i get any of this done, huh?

I've always given my best, but

what kind of life is this, mommy?

I can't really say that i haven't had any luck,

but who'll be pulling the stitches(1) now, mommy?

I'm not quite the "hell of a guy"

and life isn't always the bees knees(2), nah

rather doing it like George Michael

staying home, bathing myself in self-doubt

I'm a loser, who says really quietly:

"I'm a loser, but you don't know!"

monday - making myself big plans

tuesday - i say: "I'll start right tomorrow"

wednesday - the battery is already half empty

thursday - still not a millionaire

friday - awake for 24 hours

saturday - cancelled, because of last night

sunday - i'm still not certain about anything

... it's almost making sense

Why can't i get any of this done, huh?

Why can't i get any of this done, huh?

Why can't i get any of this done, huh?

Might not be that bad though, huh?

I'd rather be cornering(3) right now (stop)

in each hand a beer(4)

funnel and hose you can find at the hardware store

but it's not always everything California(5)

no time, got no time

I'm sorry, got no time

always chasing after that money

else it'll never be more than a twenty(6) (well, at least that)

no time, got no time

I'm sorry, got no time

acting as if to confuse the world

and good that no one know's: I've got an L on my forehead

monday - making myself big plans

tuesday - i say: "I'll start right tomorrow"

wednesday - the battery is already half empty

thursday - still not a millionaire

friday - awake for 24 hours

saturday - cancelled, because of last night

sunday - i'm still not certain about anything

... it's almost making sense

Why can't i get any of this done, huh?

Why can't i get any of this done, huh?

Why can't i get any of this done, huh?

Why can't i get any of this done, huh?

we always wanna go where the pressure has an end

always a thousand things on your list, you know how it is

free yourself from the Zeitgeist, do your thing, don't believe the hype (don't believe the hype)

take your time for good vibes, before you know it it'll all be over
