Hurra die Welt geht unter English translation
von AnnenMayKantereit

Clothing is against God
We wear fig leaves
Swinging on vines over Heinrichplatz
And the old people talk about the house fight,
at the barbecue in the ruins of the German bank
Birds' nests in a holey neon sign
We warm ourselves by a burning German flag
And if someone sleeps on a park bench
It's only because a girl is leaning on his arm
Three hours of work a day, because that's all it takes
Tonight′ night we think up names for stars
Thanking that bomb 10 years ago
And make love until the sun can see it
Remember when we carved on the desks in the schools

"Please Lord do not forgive them, for they know what they do."
Beneath the cobblestones the sandy beach awaits,
if I rap, then with the pump gun
And we sing in the nuclear shelter:


"Hooray, this world is coming to an end!"
"Hooray, this world is coming to an end!"
"Hooray, this world is coming to an end!"
And we sing in the fallout shelter:

"Hooray, this world is coming to an end!"
"Hurray, this world is coming to an end!"
Paradise on the ruins
Take your bow and arrow, we'll shoot a treat
There's no more jail, we'll barbecue on the prison bars
Burnt McDonald's bear witness to our heroic deeds
Since we chased Nestlé from the fields
Apples taste like apples and tomatoes taste like tomatoes
And we cook our food in the helmets of soldiers
You want a smoke? Then go pick some in the garden
But our life today can also be endured sober
Let's have an office chair race in the moss-covered halls of the Reichstag
Our front doors no longer have to have locks, money became confetti and we slept better
A bar of gold is the same as a brick to us

The fireplace goes out, throw in another Bible
The kids are creeped out because I'm talking about the Pope
Life is so beautiful, who needs an afterlife? (who needs an afterlife?)
And we sing in the nuclear shelter:


"Hooray, this world is coming to an end!"
"Hooray, this world is coming to an end!"
"Hooray, this world is coming to an end!"
And we sing in the fallout shelter:

"Hooray, this world is coming to an end!"
"Hurray, this world is coming to an end!"
Paradise on the ruins
The cows graze behind us, we smoke Ott play "Tower"
Where Potsdamer Platz used to be
When I wake up, I'll stroke your hair one more time
"Honey, I'm going to work, I'll be right back."
We get up when we want, leave when we want
Look the way we want, have sex the way we want
And not the way the church or porn tells us to
Baby, the time with you was so wonderful
Yes, now it's over again, but our children don't cry
Because we're raising them all together
Do you remember when they wanted to put out the big fire?
That feeling when our passports melted in the flames?
They really thought their shit would last forever

I show the little ones Monopoly, but they don't understand
"A €100 bill? What's that supposed to be?
Why should I take something from you when we share everything?"
And we sing in the fallout shelter:
"Hooray, this world is coming to an end!"
"Hooray, this world is coming to an end!"
"Hooray, this world is coming to an end!"
And we sing in the fallout shelter:
"Hooray, this world is coming to an end!"
"Hoorray, this world is coming to an end!"
Paradise on the ruins
