Wenn ich einmal groß bin [English translation]

I'll become a banker

so i have very much money

and you can have it as a present.

When I grow up

I'll become an astronaut

will jump into my rocket

and fly up to the stars.

Yeah, I now I will never arise

and my luck will never leave me.

'Cause I know I will never become like you spazzes,

I will never fit into a suit.

And I live for the moment.

But I don't give a fuck what everybody says to me, 'cause:

When I grow up, I'll become an astronaut,

so why do you say, I screw up my life?

And (ey!) I got it in any way,

why are you mad? I just enjoy life.

'Cause staying on the ground was never my kinda thing.

I got a propeller on the basecap an I fly away.

I will never become like you,

because you only dream in your sleep

to work during the day.

All the empty promises,

I'll give them back to you.

I'll hang on to dreams, like a snap hook.

They said I'm bonelazy and got nothing but a laugh

but with my self-constructed spaceship

I'll fly up to the stars.
