Alter Mann Wo Willst Du Hin? [English translation]

1.Verse

What do you have in supply today?

A couple stories, a couple lies and a little fear of death

A life on your knees, a couple rules to live by

Billions of people and all alone

From the cradle to the gave, we give our freedom up.

But who will give us back the time?

Who will give us back the time?

2.Verse

I wonder daily where the insight lies.

Because after your understanding of value no one writes laws

And so many follow blindly and silently and call it gospel.

But in that is hardship and the ignoring of reality

But who will give us back the time?

who will give us back the time?

Refrain

And how long should it last?

Old man where you off to?

Do you sometimes ask for meaning?

It's time to stand up.

Make words into gold

And believe in what ever you want to believe in.
