Frommer Mann [English translation]

You have appointed yourself to serve

To rule everyone else

Unfortunately, you don't have much to give

So you prefer to1 exclude all the others

You like to donate your blessings

You celebrate your own cult

You separate the good from the bad

But who will acquit you from your guilt?

Show your face come out of the dark into the light

Just a pious man

Is God's subject

God's subject

You like to be costly celebrated

And funded by us sinners

Promise the little people great miracles

And let yourself be staged powerful

Show your face come out of the dark into the light

Just a pious man

Is God's subject

Lie is a duty with every word you break

Just a pious man

Is God's subject

God's subject

Don't believe a word

Don't believe a word

Every promise leads us deeper into bondage

You are the anti-god who creates law with lies

Show your face come out of the dark into the light

Just a pious man

Is God's subject

Lie is a duty with every word you break

Just a pious man

Is God's subject

God's subject

1. "You prefer to" or "you better", it can be understood both ways.
