Warum geht es mir so dreckig [English translation]

CHORUS:

Why do I feel so miserable

What can I do about it on my own?

Why do I feel so miserable

What can I do about it on my own?

Get up at seven o'clock - Drink coffee

Go to work - Be friendly - Greet the boss,

Don’t say what I think - Don’t think what I say.

I'd rather be dead

And not see anything else…

I'd rather be dead

And not see anything else…

CHORUS

Five o'clock, work ends, Run to the bus,

“(Good) evening old man, evening old girl” - Dinner,

Go to the next pub, Drink beer.

I want to be so drunk that I can’t see anything anymore…

I want to be so drunk that I can’t see anything anymore…

CHORUS

Should I do a runner tomorrow and go wherever I want?

Should I get my documents and do what I want?

Should I shoot myself and see no more of it all?

I’d like to finally be free but where should I go?

Why am I so miserable? …
