Geile Welt [English translation]

Ay! We are busy, in a rush every day

We don’t have time; sorry, I really can’t,

and everything’s nasty, annoying, stresses you out

but I’d really like to have it back once it’s gone.

We’re hanging out in bars, havin’ fun here and there

we close our eyes and a year’s already

over

tellin’ stories, always changin’ our plans

but everything stays the same, besides the date.

We have parties, don’t have worries, but ladies instead ¹

‘cause we’re drinkin’, smokin’, tokin’, but call it a day in ² the mornin’

and that’s the way it is all the time, every day,

until at some point a voice says to you:

[Chorus]

This world is cool

‘cause I’ve got everything I need

and no, I never want to get out of here

as long as I’m here, I’ll make the best of it.

This world is cool

‘cause I have everything I need,

and no, I never again want out of here

as long as I’m here, I’ll make the best of it.

[Verse 2]

Okay, back to my daily routine,

I’m often sick for days

then I go back to my apartment,

panic and run away.

For years, I’ve looked for a woman,

but no one’s there who needs me,

go on stage, talk nonsense and get applause

for it?

Yeah, I’m not with Raab on TV ³

I’ve produced albums for years, but no one’s wanted it, ⁴

I just stole the contract;

but don’t tell the boss

‘cause I got a cash advance, but sadly smoked it away on the same night.

And yeah, I know it could always be worse,

but I take my problems and lock them up in

my room,

no matter what happens today, I don’t think about it, I’m part of it ‘cause I hear a voice and it screams:

[Chorus]

This world is cool

‘cause I’ve got everything I need

and no, I never want to get out of here

as long as I’m here, I’ll make the best of it.

This world is cool

‘cause I have everything I need,

and no, I never again want out of here

as long as I’m here, I’ll make the best of it.
