When I watch TV today
Then I often don’t know
Whether I should laugh or cry
One thing is certain,
The barrel is full
I just hear phrases and slogans
Are lied openly
RTL1 should be enough for us
Bread and games - so much pleasure
Bread and games for the masses
Football for pastime
Give us more naked tits
Billboards and media hype
As soon as a triviality happens
It’s already put on Twitter
In doubt, loud and fast, even better
Than deliberate and substantive
It’s deceiving, it’s yelled
The problem is that nobody wants to read it so long 2
Bread and games for the masses
Football for pastime
Give us more naked tits
Billboards and media hype
Bread and games for the masses
Football for pastime
Give us more naked tits
Billboards and media hype
Sweep caviar onto all the streets
That the mob slips and falls
Give the rich more wealth
And the rest
Bread for the world
