Agnostik für Anfänger [English translation]

Someone awakes

And gets up

And goes there

Then comes back

Day by day and complains:

It’s all what you call a real drag,

My life, the world

A major drag

Another takes off

And gets there

Anytime, looks around

Turns around and he sees

Oh God, that is just such a real drag,

Everything such a major drag

Then the moment – when he found himself

Point of no return – well, thank God

Not alone – not any more

I guess that can happen, too

Happen, too

Days, they come and years, they go and

Habit, desolation, and look

At us once again, it’s all such a real drag

Our lives, the world

A real jaded God, who asks what it’s for

“Oh baby, enough; I’m so up to here

So, here, take the music, the art, and the film

So, here, take the sex and the gambling

I just don’t care if we ever got there – now it gets interesting

Is this sickness incurable?

So, here, take that – sunset on sunset

So, here, take that – wine and carousing

I just don’t care if you ever get there

As long as long as you don’t hurt a hair on your head”

[For Anitschka]
