Dummensch [English translation]

We are the cul-de-sac of evolution

Evolved the furthest but basically still just stupid

Despite compassion and thought we devour ourselves

We shit into our own nest and nobody's going to stop us

If this is meant to be the crown of creation

Then it was a lousy god

The only thing that works

Is the elevator to the scaffold

Stupid is how the human is born

Stupid is how he will remain

Stupid is how he will be reared

To be stupid still

And even if it looks sometimes

As if he could become clever

Stupid is how the human is born

And stupid is how he will die

For all this there is no masterplan or god

The only thing remaining will just be chaos

Man grew from a crooked branch that will die one day

The fruit that will rot on the tree soon already, without any reason or purpose

Humankind is the biggest plague

For this planet

The mistake that since the beginning has been

Going the wrong ways

Stupid is how the human is born

Stupid is how he will remain

Stupid is how he will be reared

To be stupid still

And even if it looks sometimes

As if he could become clever

Stupid is how the human is born

And stupid is how he will die

Stupid! You human!
