Today people are sulking
neighbours are being pious
The salesclerk of the local store knows your grandma
he/she invites you over - you're not going
You already have a passport and clothes in a bag
tights, a toothbrush, a wallet
in the letters you wrote: The world is chiming
I'm leaving since I can't stay
Tonight at last
you'll get away
from this shitty land
here men kill each other
and then it's said that
it'd be great
if it wasn't like this
this is a jackpot, nevertheless
trumpets playing, dawn
will fix everything - try to forget
Today it's more obvious
you know you won't come back
the others can stay and do everything
like forefathers used to before
Yeah, here you were mocked, yelled at,
cherished, embraced, kissed
hear as the world is chiming from afar
you're leaving since you can't stay
Tonight at last
you'll get away
from this shitty land
here women kill each other
and then it's said that
it'd be great
if it wasn't like this
this is a jackpot, nevertheless
trumpets playing, dawn
will fix everything - try to forget
Bow before the blue cross*
you can be a drunk, not a junkie
if you yell, you might be a terrorist
don't trouble anybody
you have to shake hands with the nice man
the tired ones will be disposed of
- don't give up on anything
At last
you'll get away
from this shitty land
here children kill each other
and then it's said that
it'd be great
if it wasn't like this
this is a jackpot, nevertheless
trumpets playing, dawn
will fix everything - try to forget
You'll get away
from this shitty land
here men kill each other
and then it's said that
it'd be great
if it wasn't like this
this is a jackpot, nevertheless
trumpets playing, dawn
will fix everything - try to forget
