Wachstum über alles [English translation]

Driven by desire for gain,

drunken by velocity

are vanity, growth and ego,

three deadly sins of our time.

Our hunger is limitless

Why don't we ever get full?

Our progress is merciless,

Our hand is overstrung

Our hunger is limitless

Why don't we ever get full?

Blind from greed no one here sees

that all growth has its limits.

Growth, growth above all else

Everything else in the world

Let us all strive for it

Until the last coin falls.

Vanity and greed and ego

are what the world sustains.

Growth, growth above all else

Everything else in the world.

Like pestilence and vermin

our money multiplies from interest

Standstill means death - everything must grow

like the margins of profit.

Mercilessly everything grows on and on,

sets the whole world on fire!

Let's stick at nothing,

An eye for an eye, and a hand for a hand

Mercilessly this plague grows

Until the end of this road

The ulcer is growing in you as well,

because unchecked growth is also called cancer.

Growth, growth above all else

Everything else in the world

Let us all strive for it

Until the last coin falls.

Vanity and greed and ego

are what the world sustains.

Growth, growth above all else

Everything else in the world.

Growth, growth above all else

Everything else in the world.

Stinginess and avarice and interest

are a guarantee of money -

Grow in the gleam of our gold,

grow, dear balance!
