Raus aus dem Reichstag [English translation]

I do not want to be offensive again

But it is devastating, there is not a bit of decency left

Germany is a land with honour

A land with failings, with serious ones

But still I have to revolt now

I am in the mood to fight you now

In school you were the wallflowers

The geeks, the psychos, the milksops

And then off into politics

Of course you harbour resentment against the people

Chorus (2x):

You have aggravated everything

And to punish you I name you now

If you don't like it

Have your driver chauffeur you to Mannheim**

I will make your blood curdle, no, I will drink it

Because I make a real good Vampirhana

And you may wish for my death like for your daily bread

But our feud has just begun and I will make trouble for you

Your new lackeys use old methods

Where are the Springers of the BILD-newspaper, you have such small [***] (implied by rhyme: balls)

What is Angela Merkel doing at Elfriede Springers place?

I swear to you, they are conspiring concerning the election

You say noone could foresee the crisis

If you are really serious about this, you have to go

What did we pay you for, you betray us, you fail at your job

Chorus (2x)

Schreiber is coming back and selling your butts, and rightly so

After all he paid for it, and I think not half bad

Now you want to deal with everything after the elections

And keep telling us "democracy is fair"

Everything after the elections, because you are scared shitless

Leisler Kiep, Kanther, Kohl, all corrupt to the core

The BASF want their Leuna back

They sell the reunion as "the people are the winners"

Sons of [***] all of you and [***] racists

I beg of you, put me on top of death lists

Does Miss Koch love the Dalai Lama because of the old fashists

What is it?

Chorus (2x)

You have aggravated everything

And to punish you I name you now

A citizen of Mannheim is accusing you

You did way too much damange to Germany already

Welcome to Angela Merkels corrupt CDU

Kohls government was bribable, naturally, just like you

Schreiber will break your backs and we will watch

I can not see anything Christian in what you do

The C has to go from CDU***

Just DU (you) remain, and out you go

So get going, out you go

And now you will be merely watching

Like the guys from the Heartlessbank****, gambling with our dough

You've been really really bad, standing there with egg on your face

Baron Totschild calls the shots and he doesn't give a shit about you losers

That shmuck is a fox and you are nothing but fools

Even dumber than Bernanke, Trichet and King

German bankers, our blemish, they are up to no good

Want to squeeze every last penny out of Germans

Do those who lost their money deserve no better

I lump you all together, you do the same to us

You don't give any credit anymore anyway, not to Peter, Paul or Mary

And to us least of all, since what we do is art

Still I believe we never wasted as much paper as you did

You are notoriously wasting the taxpayer's money

Huge boasters, disgusting dazzlers

Almost as nauseating as your cousins, the bad managers

Obscure like greedy bankers

But to me still worst of all remains [***]

Apply for a position in the land beyond the British channel

Damn it, I will say it again

Leave the parliament halls this instant!

Get out of the Reichstag

And if I have to sue you out

You are supposed to economise and shut the hell up

But wouldn't you prattle on like this

People might think you lazy

Get out of the Reichstag... (repeated 3 x)

*The Reichstag houses the German parliament

**Mannheim is the home town of the singer

***CDU - Christian Democratic Union

**** German "Keinherzbank" - pun, sounds like Commerzbank
