Rost [English translation]

No tank was driving along the road

No thunder was consecrating the air

No sniper shot lead into the guard dog's chest

No hiss of a fighter jet was snapping across the land

No soldier was walking to the left, to the right, and looked alive then.

No battlefield consumed the bodies

No white flash of death

No president inside the deepest bunker typed his code

No fight gas drenched the air with death

No man against man

No David fights against Goliath as long as he can

No general gave green light for the big battle

No coward at the computer pushed the drone through the night

No agent betrayed the plan

No secret plot

No one tied the bomb around his belly for his God.

But we look at the city that is knocked out

Wounds gape in facades

Ravens swarming out of a hole

What looks like a theatre of war,

was just a factory house that

has his guts

now transplanted to China

[Hook]

Time goes by towards supper

The sun falls into the corner

Shame paints the facades in red

The skeleton is still standing in pride

Time goes by towards supper

The sun falls into the corner

Up and down the country the cities are dead

The rust blossoms until last (2x)

Firstly they came up with new words:

These were English and difficult

No one who quite really understood these

But soon everything was empty

The parking lots became shoes,

Two sizes too big

Then they said the investor was bringing the saving raft

But: The wolves wear fine thread - The sheep wear Blue

The wolves have third houses - The sheep have got a woman

The wolves visited Business Schools - The sheep were on shift

The wolves have character - The sheep have no face

The wolves see numbers falling - The sheep watch TV

The wolves and the sheep live on another planet

The wolves in conference - a large black coffin

Its nails are pinstripe

The cover from glass and steel

[Hook]

The sheep shout out their anger

They go to demonstrations

until they are tired

Your anger is real, I can feel it

Drink the beer, it makes you weak,

it only unites you in anger

Grumbling is of no use for you anymore

We have lost the war

You wanted labour first

Then it was much too long for you

The trade union still fighting for you was the downfall

If the flights get cheap, you also like it

The great red dragon coughs for you

Flat screens out of his belly

Of course, the company moves away

into a far country

And also builds our German cars behind the sunrise

It never went so good for so long

Sometimes it is over

You got rich, you got soft

There is no protection for nobody

The large industry moves away, you can smell it in the air

Suddenly, it smells better here without all the dirt

What is a worker without work - just a "he"

The halls are empty

Silence is on the roads with tar

[Hook]
