Falsche Entscheidung [English translation]

Chorus:

We listen to the wrong songs and have the wrong friends,

we go to the wrong clubs and like only the wrong people,

the wrong opinion

the wrong clothes

wrong decision

and we don't care, we don't care, we don't care*

It all started in the delivery room,

I came into the world without style

which in retrospect is pretty shit because

without style there's sadly no applause

At the time I didn't really care

just turned over and slept some more

yeah I really shouldn't have

because since then I always miss every cool event.

No-one here really knows why that’s the way it is,

I often used to think i'd like to go to a fashion show* ,

wanted to be like them, back then I thought that was clever,

of course it never worked out, but I still hoped for sex,

I was chronically sexually unchallenged,

thought football was a bit of a weird sport

and got a red card for that,

then I understood what offside meant.

The cool guys in the neighbourhood form a band

electric guitar, bass and drums

I'm in too, but maybe I should learn an instrument first?

'cause I know that’s what you do

and then all this here rubbish would be worth it

just keep playing scales, man, you can do it

loud but harmless like blank ammunition

I blow into my saxaphone all on my lonesome

Chorus

At parties I always listened to my Walkman,

because the people around me didn’t like my taste in music,

I never went to raves, jams or to the gym,

my Elvis-look meant I stood out everywhere I went

and all that I wanted were naked ladies

A girlfriend whose t-shirt I could take off

All that I found was naked emptiness

Tight braces from the orthodontist

I was the superstar without fail

In my new clothes from C&A*

I didn’t have a gang and I didn’t have a crew

no fun and no rendez-vous

I’d love to be in bars with TV-stars

slurping bubbly at a private showing

it fizzes in the glass, how fun is that!

And the next day they all want to know: Björn how was it?!

Chorus

I used to be uncool because I was a hip-hopper

then later I was an uncool hip-hopper

Oh yeah life would be so nice if I was a cool guy

if I had it all, in designer clothes

it’s sadly not the case, can’t pretend like it is

it is what it is, it's not gonna win any prizes

we come from Halstenbek, Pinneberg and Schenefeld

unfortunately never at the heart of the scene

all the wallflowers

all the shy ones

all the nerds

all those with spots/zits

all the ugly ducklings

all the left-handers

all the bed-wetters

and all the fat girls

mummy’s boys

skinny boys

beanstalks

whingers*

four-eyes

dunces*

all the worriers

and all the hysterical ladies

Chorus
