Stadt [English translation]

It's much too much

Advertisement everywhere

Too much bread and space

Happiness has no name

All streets are frequented

Cold pictures in the hearts

Nobody can read thoughts

The climate becomes milder

I build a city for you

Made of glass and gold and stone

And every street that leads into it

Will also lead out again

I build a city for you and for me

Nobody knows anymore what he looks like

Or what's his name

Everybody here is on the run

The tears are made of ice

And there has to be a way to change it

It can't go on like this

Where do I support, where protection

The sky here is made of lead

I will give no answer anymore

To the wrong questions

The time fast squandered

And you have to hunt for happiness

A city with no existence of fear, just trust

Where we build the walls out of greed and snortiness

Where the light is calm and the water stays

Where every dawn and every dream is worth it

And flies through time and space into our hearts
