| I’ve got to tell you about a strange, poor man
|
| I met him at our concert, now he’s a legend in our band
|
| Claimed we had to sell him a T-shirt for one mark
|
| I explained we really try to be as cheap as we can
|
| But that didn’t get through to that man
|
| Yeah, it is cool that you believe in me, but you have to understand
|
| We’re not Peter K., Emma, Gandhi and Marx reincarnated as a punkrockband
|
| And even if we found our major enemy
|
| In the core of this capital dynasty
|
| We’re still a part of this goddamn money machine
|
| Right after the show, strengthened with a bottle of wine
|
| He said to me: «Diese T-shirt ist ja mein
|
| You capitalistische schwein» !!
|
| He grabbed an empty bottle of beer
|
| And aimed right at my head
|
| I got scared and took shelter right behind my own amp
|
| And the glass swished above my head
|
| Yeah, it is cool that you believe in me, but you have to understand
|
| We’re not Peter K., Emma, Gandhi and Marx reincarnated as a punkrockband
|
| And even if we found our major enemy
|
| In the core of this capital dynasty
|
| We’re still a part of this goddamn money machine
|
| But it’s so fucking hard to be
|
| The perfect human that you demand of me
|
| But I want everyone to know that we really try to practice what we preach
|
| But I guess the reason for this fight is just your own bad conscious that bleeds
|
| Yeah, it is cool that you believe in me, but you have to understand
|
| We’re not Peter K., Emma, Gandhi and Marx reincarnated as a punkrockband
|
| And even if we found our major enemy
|
| In the core of this capital dynasty
|
| We’re still a part of this goddamn money machine
|
| Oh baby, now I see that from what that man did to me
|
| I could surely have made the funniest song that the world’s ever seen
|
| But still now when I’ve found I’m the worst storyteller around
|
| I will keep up my reading, I will keep my pen bleeding 'til everybody’s free |
