Notaufnahme [English translation]

"Name me the men, women and children, who will seek me

Me, as their narrator, precentor, tonegiver

Because they need me, like nothing else in this world"1

These are tunes for when it's do or die

Bitch, this is pas de pardon2

For whom the water's up to their throat

Whose problem is that everything goes

Man, this is like canned food for your daughter

This is where fun is getting porous, ain't it?

This is the soundtrack for a grand epic

Last way out, this is an emergency admission

This is for the line that's between us, yani3

Man, this is for the end of the road

This is for let the riffraff babble, damn shit

This is for when everything else fails

This is give everything one last time, this shit is mean

When the rope's around your neck and the noose is tightening

This is a red thread in this life of yours

Crises, baby, this is an emergency admission

'Cause this is straight to the nitty-gritty

This is for always my decision

A crown made from grief, let the spastics dance

I'll just get me the mic, when shit hits the fan

The Frankfurt Covenant, mourners united

For close to the abyss and yet two steps further

Man, this is to put one over on our death

One last smoke, then to the emergency admission

This is for when nothing can be done

This is for let's get right to business

For when what you tried doesn't work out

Bro, you make the cut, then it's pitch black

This is for leaving all the pain behind

For where palaver simply has no place

For surviving between hoes and maggots

What, entertainment - this is an emergency admission

This is for when the die is cast

This is for when you feel that I am cold

These are the keys to which the snow melts

For when you see what you want to unsee

This is for when your face freezes

This is for the your bill plus the host, motherfucker

This is ignore what all the idiots say

'Cause I'm thirsty and I'll drink till emergency admission

This is for when you're living while you're actually dying

For when the path is getting a bit rocky

This is for when that boy is done for

This is for when the trigger's loosened

This is for the world and that everything may come to light

I don't do this for money, this is my social duty

In reality, this is all out of sheer mercy

As a small pawn, boy, this is my emergency admission

This is for when the chips are down

This shit is for your final resort

Not steer or beat around the cliffs or bushes

Uh-uh, man, this is for straight for the kill

This is for when the bell tolls thirteen

When it's neck or nothing over corpses

Don't talk yourself out of it, akhi4, this is what karma

Looks like up close, this is an emergency admission

This is for drawing the final line

This is for no more Mr. Nice Guy

This is for salvation right into your ear

This is the opposite of talking nonsense

This is for can't be bothered with their mullock

Here we show them what's up

This is for cutting yourself off from great damage

Philanthropic deeds, something like bread for the world
