Sie brauchen keinen Führer [English translation]

The rallying cries are circulating in the subway

and the cries are nothing new

Fifty years ago it was the same

and was in tune with the Party

And they tell jokes in the bars

brutal jokes, and laugh bitterly

and they decide those who have stolen their jobs

will be gassed and shot

Kids are playing on the school playground

"Turks and Gendarme"

and in the classrooms, divided by race

they yawn dully in history class

On the streets and in the Football Stadiums

they start yelling again

and then bellowing German-Gangs throw

grenades in Kebab shops

And many still say,

"It's not that bad

wide and far, there is

no new Drittes Reich in sight"

No, they don't need a Führer

No, now they can do it by themselves

No, they don't need him anymore

These new Nazi-pigs

And no brown uniforms

now the clothes are colourful

Still the same cold vomit

sloshes again from their mouths

They don't march in line

still, the Front stands like one man

Yeah, before it was the Jews

and today the Turks are next

[Instrumental]

And many still say,

"It will never happen again"

But don't you see, on the walls of the houses,

the same old slogans?

No, they don't need a Führer

No, now they can do it by themselves

No, they don't need him anymore

These new Nazi-pigs

And the heads held high

and the German Herrenblick 1

they allow it to work devastatingly

on Untermenschen and other Turks

They don't march in line

still, the Front stands like one man

and today the Turks are next

No, they don't need a Führer

No, now they can do it by themselves

No, they don't need him anymore

These new Nazi-pigs

1. This word is hard to translate; a Herrenblick is proud, selfish, and dangerous
