Listen up for a moment, I am telling you
There are many kinds of germs
They are transmitted through intimate touch
but also through other transfer
There is a kind that causes itching
in one ear, or both,
depending on how you are sitting
when bureaucrats are talking
Then there are those that affect your vision
if you lower your eyebrows too much
and hit them lightly into the table
and only have eyes for the written word
When you are wrong and the arguments run short,
you run around and roar
Then you have gotten a bout of the fever
that is of help to every careerist
There are germs that confuse your legs
The second does not know of the first
The one that for the moment is the best
is shit and nothing in the next
Then there are those that do no harm,
but only lunatics and fools get those
They are handed out for free to those who fight
and do not thrive in madhouses and jails
Yes really, I am telling you
There are many kinds of germs
They are transmitted through intimate touch
but also through other transfer
What ordinary simple people need,
that is covered up by bureaucrat germs
Reason does not always help either
against their powerful charts
You dig out stories from the gravel
underneath the parliament building
But they above who rest on reason
make a garage for nice cars
From fear of losing your voice
every third year at autumn,
there is a germ that can cause trouble
You have to promise more than you can keep
Sure, you have an ear for what the people wish for,
especially when the economy is flourishing
To listen only means to hear
Then you can do what you meant to do
Yes really, I am telling you
There are many kinds of germs
And the sensible and hindsight-clever
even make cacti wilt
The people who split off atoms
The phantoms of technology
The threats they once found wrong and overstated
now make them run for life
As I now really wished your best,
I promise that if there is any pill
that is an effective agent against germs,
I will call and tell you
