Menschenjäger [English translation]

They'd like to bury us in jail.

They'd like to send us to hell.

The devil doesn't want us at all,

waiting for them for thousands of years already.

I mean the manhunters and desk criminals,

who have murdered us a million times,

already fear for their white collars.

When the Führer calls, they are there.

They can be bought for the worst disgrace

and they kill and think nothing about it.

They are the cause of every shooting.

I mean the manhunters and desk criminals,

who have murdered us a million times,

they already feel the noose around their white collars.

Manhunters, will you get it?

I don't know how many will perish because of you today.

But of one thing I can assure you:

Your machine guns will not reign forever.

You can hunt and massacre us,

for everyone you get two others will march.

You can obey, you can command.

And if you fight against us all, you will lose.

Manhunters, desk criminals, people's police, criminal investigators, NPD, fascists, sadists, CIA.

Neckermanns, Genscher, Springer, Krupp, all war profiteers.

Neubauer, Ruhnau, Nixon, Hübner, Schreiber and how they're all called.

Franz Josef, Rainer,

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, watch the hand on the clock.

Paper tigers.
