Karl-Marx-Stadt English translation
von Kraftklub

I fancy coffee, fags and diamond wheels
I was never the sitting-in-front-row-and-raising-my-hand-in-class kid
More of a show-off, a screwy attached-to-it-all,
Not a lot has changed since then,
damn

I can't help it, but most people don't get
That I'm not to blame when my life is shit
More so the fault of the system, politics and Hartz IV
No matter who's to blame, I'm not

I come from Karl-Marx-City, am a total loser baby,
Original Ostler!
I come from Karl-Marx-City, am a total loser baby,
Original Ostler!
I come from Karl-Marx-City, am a total loser baby,
Original Ostler!


I am not on any guest list
I'm not even cool in a city that's full of nazis, retirees and hools
I'm cruising around the Karl Marx Head in the Trabant, eating a banana
The streets deserted and the food without any colourings
Discriminated, not at all motivated, water drips down from the ceiling, nothing is working
And that's how we live in Saxony, on top of modern mattresses
Always in a good mood even without any cash in our pockets

I come from Karl-Marx-City, am a total loser baby,
Original Ostler!
I come from Karl-Marx-City, am a total loser baby,
Original Ostler!
I come from Karl-Marx-City, am a total loser baby,
Original Ostler!

I come from Karl-Marx-City, am a total loser baby,
Original Ostler!
I come from Karl-Marx-City, am a total loser baby,
Original Ostler!
I come from Karl-Marx-City, am a total loser baby,
Original Ostler!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
