Besser als jetzt [English translation]

Okay

We live on a volcano

At least it feels that way

Because everything seethes, sizzles and smokes

Too hot air

The earth cracks

Sparks made of loud screams

Lava made of ego and envy

Will we really accept it like that?

Haven't you had enough, too?

I will write something down:

A bit of reason (ey-yo)

A pinch of heart

One shot of a clear position

A bit more courage

Not that much fear

And a liitle bit less of seriousness

Would suit all of us

And yes, I know there's no recipe

For a perfect world (recipe, recipe)

But I believe (I believe, I believe)

We could do better than now

Come on, let's do better than now

I know neither the exact way

But when I watch the news

I have the diffuse feeling

That each of us is losing this game

Where are the poets and the thinkers?

I only see judges and executioners

Will we really accept it like that?

Haven't you had enough, too?

I will write something down:

A bit of reason (ey-yo)

A pinch of heart

One shot of a clear position

A bit more courage

Not that much fear

And a liitle bit less of seriousness

Would suit all of us

And yes, I know there's no recipe

For a perfect world (recipe, recipe)

But I believe (I believe, I believe)

We could do better than now

Come on, let's do better than now

Let's do better than now

Let's do better than now

Let's do better than now

Let's do better than now

Let's do better than now

Let's do better than now

A bit of reason (ey-yo)

A pinch of heart

One shot of a clear position

A bit more courage

Not that much fear

And a liitle bit less of seriousness

Would suit all of us

And yes, I know there's no recipe

For a perfect world (recipe, recipe)

But I believe (I believe, I believe)

We could do better than now

Come on, let's do better than now
