Frieden im Land [English translation]

The country stands proudly dressed for the holiday1

The customs officers are already decked out

Even the bums have a pass and at the border

A few irredeemable ones are still perplexed

The old fears, planted picturesquely

Sprout new multicoloured blooms

The cops bite again and the state parliament dances

Finally made it, a people of phagocytes

Now it's clear to everyone: The Lord never builds upon sand

Peace reigns again over the land

Peace reigns again over the land

Peace reigns again over the land

Peace reigns again

Peace reigns again

Peace reigns again over the land

Here and there terrorists leap across meadows

How chic, cameras are whipped out

The old civic bliss sprouts

The rescue, friends, has been successful

The schoolchildren compete at fawning

The philosophers fly kites

Utopia masturbates in a bed of silk

Times stink and the poets are silent

How lovely that the right turned out to be right

Peace reigns again over the land

Peace reigns again over the land

Peace reigns again over the land

Peace reigns again

Peace reigns again

Peace reigns again over the land

Now I want to settle with a plump woman

To have three children, establish a homestead

And to finally cheat humanity out of me

Why suffer? Lord, close my mouth

Cast off my blindfolds and the bandage from my forehead

Peace reigns again over the land

Peace reigns again over the land

Peace reigns again over the land

Peace reigns again

Peace reigns again

Peace reigns again over the land

Peace in the land

Peace in the land

Peace in the land

Peace in the land

Peace
