Schüsse in die Luft [English translation]

My mother says: Boy, go to sleep

Everyone goes on holidays but I have to go on the street, says Farin Urlaub¹

Yes, ok, now I stand here but I'm alone in front of a wall

There's only me and nothing else, only this stone in my hand

It's a lonely war against the crap that surrounds me

The fucking crap that apparently no one but me can see

But how so if nobody looks outside

Rather on the couch with

Frauentausch [Wife Swap] or Bauer sucht Frau [Farmer Wants a Wife]²

And yes of course only ironically and only in passing

But compared to the victims³, the own life is quite awesome

A dog doesn't bite when he barks and everything's fine

as long as those on RTL⁴ are a bit dumber than you

And I shoot into the air (Bang, bang, bang)

I go to war but nobody comes with me

Three shots in the air (Bang, bang, bang)

Unfortunately I'm the only one out here again

And I shoot into the air (Bang, bang, bang)

But no reaction only complaints about the noise

Three shots in the air (Bang, bang, bang)

The revolution or Berlin Tag und Nacht [Berlin Day and Night]⁵

You'll never be disappointed if you never expect anything

And before you do something wrong, rather do nothing at all

Someone will say something sometime

Otherwhise you have to be content with what you have

And even if everything's shit, you're broke and you can't do anything

Then just be proud of your country

Or blame a few other poor pigs

Hey, how about the people in the refugee centre?

And no, I was never anti-everything, I was always anti-you

But I started a long time ago to adjust myself with things

And that's exactly what I didn't want, I have stayed here for too long already

I have to go because otherwise I'll be like you

And I shoot into the air (Bang, bang, bang)

I go to war but nobody comes with me

Three shots in the air (Bang, bang, bang)

Unfortunately I'm the only one out here again

And I shoot into the air (Bang, bang, bang)

But no reaction only complaints about the noise

Three shots in the air (Bang, bang, bang)

The revolution or Berlin Tag und Nacht [Berlin Day and Night]

Nothing matters except the cellphone contract

(And I paint everything black)

With 390 Euros Hartz⁶ you can't get far in the organic market

(And I paint everything black)

Your crappy comment was just a joke, of course

(And I paint everything black)

Serving drunken idiots at the bar all night

for 7 Dollars an hour but black⁷

And I shoot into the air (Bang, bang, bang)

I go to war but nobody comes with me

Three shots in the air (Bang, bang, bang)

Unfortunately I'm the only one out here again

And I shoot into the air (Bang, bang, bang)

But no reaction only complaints about the noise

Three shots in the air (Bang, bang, bang)

The revolution or Berlin Tag und Nacht [Berlin Day and Night]

And I shoot into the air (Bang, bang, bang)

Three shots in the air (Bang, bang, bang)

And I shoot into the air (Bang, bang, bang)

Three shots in the air (Bang, bang, bang)
