Musik ist keine Lösung [English translation]

Dear Kaliba, nice try.

Critical lyrics, world-saver-blues

You think you can fix the system

but you underestimate the law of nature.

Cause we come with coal power

the monopoly of power, with loads of ammunition

and business seats seized by corruption

You've got a music sheet? We couldn't stop laughing.

Look, David versus Goliath

that’s from a fairy tale book full of lies and nonsense.

We will rather be riding through moon landscapes on hovercrafts

than you sparking a fire with that generation.

An anti war music production?

Hah! How original.

John Lennon did that in the 70s

and he has achieved some changes, eh?

You write a song against the cruel world

and in China someone just ordered some rice dish.

Then there’s the next war, and you realize:

Music is not the solution.

The melody sparks hope in everyone

Today the Festival scum raise their fists

tomorrow they’ll wake up in a puddle of vomit

Music is not the solution.

What do you want to achieve with your songs?

Get People from their wrong paths to moral courage?

Peace Flags flying in all crisis countries?

Want another kidney?

Do you think you are society's voice now?

You're cool to them until you're rich.

Maybe some of them love you for the courageous move

Others say you only want publicity.

No, its not easy: You will face difficulties

Suspicious People from the wrong places will applaud your next single

like suit and tie far-right jerks

posting your video to trap young voters

Sure, cause no one gets your text after a few beers

You caused more legless drunks than you saved lives

try to explain the irony to hillbillies

thats pearls before drunkards.

Give messages and your temperament to the people

all they will do is argue who knows you longest

Don’t expect anything will stick

apart from the mp3 download

You write a song against the cruel world

and in China someone just odered some rice dish.

Then there’s the next war, and you realize:

Music is not the solution.

The melody sparks hope in everyone

Today the Festival scum raise their fists

tomorrow they’ll wake up in a puddle of vomit

Music is not the solution.

If you are such a knowitall, you little wunderkind,

why don’t you own a parliament seat?

You thought the critical song-writer job is a safe one

but if we had peace on earth, your songs would be useless

If the Guantanamo hostages were freed

and world climate was stable

I am sorry to say

you'd sing yourself to unemployment

Just admit: you need those tears and fears

the hero-junks, the cancer-stricken

the goon squads and white slavery

the next door informers,

military tyrants and hate campaigns,

career whores and laser barriers

the toxic substances that get into the ocean.

The planet goes down the drain, but we go together!

Fill your glass, and no one will notice you

The glass is half empty, dude!

Allow the doubt to fuck your mind

there still is "Mist"* in every Optimist

Do it like us, we don't care about creation

if God only needed seven days he can just do it again

Dump pen and guitar

indifference will make you invulnerable

Nothing is bad or immoral anymore

take a room with sea view

while the scum bury themselves outside.

Give up- I HAVE NOT FINISHED YET-

Give up mankind, Kaliba, you waste your fine art

They want change but say their hands are tied up

cause they are controlled by dark forces, blah, they are complaining again!

But People aren't bad, they're just stupid.
