Kopf durch die Wand [English translation]

Thank god I'm sick

I'm schizophrenic

Thank God I'm sick

I'm confused

You want to build walls

I'll break them down

Thank God I'm sick

I'm insane

Thank God I'm sick

I'm a psychopath the likes of whom

the world has not seen in a long time

With my head I'm bashing

against every wall so totally

without brains

without wits

You talk big

I seethe with anger

As long as I'm true to myself

I'll make it on my own

That is abhorrent to you

no understanding

do what you want

this isn't my problem

Thank God I'm sick

I'm schizophrenic

Thank God I'm sick

I'm confused

Thank God I'm sick

I'm aggressive without decency

Stubbornly with my head through the wall 1

Thank god I'm sick

I'm schizophrenic

Thank God I'm sick

I'm thick

Thank God I'm sick

I'm defiant

Thank God I'm sick

and frivolous

Thank God I'm sick

I'm excited when my

behaviour

causes you an upset stomach

With my head full of sand

I'm bashing against every wall

so totally without sense

without wits

I admit it's not easy

'cause every once in a while

the wall moves

I bash my head till it's black and blue

But never mind

I know for sure

I'll stay true to myself

It's my will that counts and that is

what all of you lack

The head full of sand

against the wall

so totally without sense

without wits

You talk big

I seethe with anger

Stick me into a cell

which I demolish as well

That is abhorrent to you

No understanding

Do what you want

This isn't my problem

1. 'mit dem Kopf durch die Wand' hat eine andere Bedeutung als das uebliche 'mit dem Kopf gegen die Wand rennen'. Ersteres ist gepraegt von unerbittlicher Sturheit, ein 'auf Biegen und Brechen' Wille, selbst angesichts evtl. Zwecklosigkeit, waehrend gegen die Wand etwas Aussichtloses hat, ein Ausdruck von Wollen und das Wissen um das Nichtkoennen. Also 'my way or the highway' durch die Wand vs. aus Verzweiflung/Wut gegen die Wand. Nur meine persoenliche Meinung
