[Intro]
Ah ah
We are the ticks
The blue ones1can lick us
Ah Ah Ah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
[Part 1]
I was born during the days of chaos
I learned early on that you can't say stuff like yes and amen
To nothing! I've experienced riot and panic a thousand times
I look a bit weird
And I don't need to go the way that everyone else is taking
You get a fat ass from sitting, I have other problems
The last, psychiatric drugs taking, living punk
Batman wants my bounty, the Joker is my soul mate
Raid the pharmacist, shout: "Pills or money!"
Explain the world in a relaxed way to my psycho-doc with a few mushrooms
Look, we're anti-social ticks on pills, not just part-time rocker
We're screaming with pride, we have a screw loose
[Refrain]
I'm nuts, oh oh oh
And the synapses are going crazy, I failed in life, yes I know
I'm not properly wired together, oh oh oh
And maybe I'll never be normal, but what about it?
I feel so free
[Bridge]
Hey, the hands go up, middle finger in the air for the résumé, oh
Super wicked, dude turn it up, if it's too loud, then you can go outside, yeah
I arrive with the others, we're still the tick gang, yeah
Shattered like Rantanplan2, pille palle plem plem
[Part 2]
I am threatened and need an escort from the lobby
My ex is now going into series production because murder is her hobby
She has a pump gun in the closet and golden teeth
The reaction to my texts is: "You should be ashamed!"
I was a problematic child, I always got screwed over by everyone
I'm not schizophrenic, the voices would have told me that!
The Altonaken Schanzianer, I really come from there
Don't get off-topic by talking about the yuppies or the church3
And we can't die just yet, I want me to experience something
My music is like a lot of colorful plasters for the soul
We are radical anti-social ticks, not just part-time rocker
We shriek proudly, we have a loosened screw
[Refrain]
[Bridge]
