Hooray, the world's going down
Clothing is against God, we're wearing fig leaves
Swinging on vines over Heinrichplatz
And the elders are talking about urban warfare
At the barbecue in the ruins of Deutsche Bank**
Bird nests in a holey neon sign
We're warming ourselves up on a burning German flag
And if someone's sleeping on a park bench
It's only because a girl's leaning against his arm
Three hours of work a day, because no more is needed
Tonight we're thinking of names for stars
Thanking this bomb ten years ago
And making love until the Sun can see it
Do you remember when we used to scratch into the tables at school
"Please Lord, don't forgive them, because they know what they're doing"
The sandy beach is waiting under the paving stones
If not with rap, then with the pumpgun.
And we're singing in the nuclear bunker
"Hooray, this world's going down"**
"Hooray, this world's going down"
"Hooray, this world's going down"
And we're singing in the nuclear bunker
"Hooray, this world's going down"
"Hooray, this world's going down"
On the ruins of paradise
Take a bow and arrow, we'll get something tasty to eat
There's no jail anymore, we grill on the cell bars
Burned down McDonald's show of our heroic acts
Since we chased Nestle from the fields
Apples taste like apples, tomatoes like tomatoes
And we cook our food in the soldiers' helmets
You want to smoke something? Then go pick something from the garden
But you can also get through today's life sober
Come on, we'll go down the moss covered halls of the Reichstag
An office chair race
Our house doors don't have to have locks any more
Money became confetti and we slept better
A gold bar is the same as a brick to us
The fire pit's going out, throw another Bible in
The kids are creeped out because I'm talking about the Pope
This life is so wonderful, who needs a life afterwards? (who needs a life afterwards?"
And we're singing in the nuclear bunker
"Hooray, this world's going down"
"Hooray, this world's going down"
"Hooray, this world's going down"
And we're singing in the nuclear bunker
"Hooray, this world's going down"
"Hooray, this world's going down"
On the ruins of paradise
The cows graze behind us, we're smoking weed, playing backgammon***
Where Potsdamer Platz used to be
When I wake up, I'll run my hand through your hair again
"Sweetheart, I'm going to work, I'll be back soon"
We get up when we want, go away when we want
Look the way we want, have sex the way we want
And not how the church or porn tells us to
Baby, the time with you was so wonderful
Now it's up again, but our children don't cry
Because we raise them all together
Do you remember when they wanted to extinguish the great fire?
This feeling as our passports smouldered in the flames?
They actually thought their shit would last forever
I'm showing the little ones Monopoly, but they don't understand it
"A €100 note? What's that for?
Why should I take something from you when we share everything?"
And we're singing in the nuclear bunker
"Hooray, this world's going down"
"Hooray, this world's going down"
"Hooray, this world's going down"
And we're singing in the nuclear bunker
"Hooray, this world's going down"
"Hooray, this world's going down"
On the ruins of paradise
Hurra die Welt geht unter
Kleidung ist gegen Gott, wir tragen Feigenblatt
Schwingen an Lianen über'n Heinrichplatz
Und die Alten erzählen vom Häuserkampf
Beim Barbecue in den Ruinen der De
