Kopfschuss [English translation]

It says in the German constitution

That the death penalty's been abolished

But now and again

This constitution loses its authority

Because in order to preserve the security

Of the German state by any means necessary

Time and time again they gladly take advice

From laws that were in place sixty years ago.

What was back in the day the Gestapo

is today the BKA1

Only that back then they used a hangman

And now they've got the GSG 9 2

Headshot-

That was no suicide, it was homicide

Headshot-

You (all) have lied from the first word

Headshot-

That was a lousy, cowardly murder

Headshot-

And I won't believe a word you (all) say-

Not another word

When the government's in panic

Neither order nor morality applies

The laws become null and void

And so human rights become inconsequential

The police are a state within the state, self-glorification rules

If the enemy of the state is located,

he's taken care of Rambo-style.

What was back in the day the Gestapo

is today the BKA

Only that back then they used a hangman

And now they've got the GSG 9

Headshot-

That was no suicide, it was homicide

Headshot-

You (all) have lied from the first word

Headshot-

That was a lousy, cowardly murder

Headshot-

And I won't believe a word you (all) say-

Not another word

You (all) can explain what you want

I'll never believe another word you (all) say

You've always lied to us,

And you've cheated us,

Lulled us, intoxicated us

Castrated our souls

Amputated our brains

Manipulated us, censored us away, executed us,

But now I've had enough:

I won't play your games anymore,

I shit on your faces: Fuck you-Murderers!

What was back in the day the Gestapo

is today the BKA

Only that back then they used a hangman

And now they've got the GSG 9

Headshot-

That was no suicide...

and I won't believe another word-

Not another word-never.
