Baader-Meinhof Blues [English translation]

Violence is so fascinating

And our lives are so ordinary

And you pass by at night and always see

Apartments alit

Everything seems to be so real

But you watched this movie as well

Walking down the streets

I thought I could hear

Someone calling me

Saying my name

I'm sick of feeling empty

My body is warm and I'm feeling cold

Everybody knows and nobody wants to know anymore

After all, loving thy neighbor is so old-fashioned

This tuneless justice

Is so human and so wrong

We watch TV too

What's the difference?

Don't nationalize my feelings

For your concern

My state is independent

I'm sick of feeling empty

My body is warm and I'm feeling cold

Everybody knows and nobody wants to know anymore

After all, loving thy neighbor is so old-fashioned
