TV-Glotzer (White Punks on Dope) English translation
von Nina Hagen

A very good evening, ladies and gentlemen
I warmly welcome you to our television program today
And wish you a very good reception

Alone, the world has forgotten me
I'm hanging around, messed up with everyone
I sit at home, don't feel like doing anything
I feel old, in the swamp like my granny

I turn on the TV
The Daltons, Waltons, everyone
I stare from east to west, two, five, four

I can't decide at all
It's all so beautifully colorful here
I watch TV (she watches TV)
I watch TV (she watches TV)

I'm so dead, was that already my life?
My beautiful imagination, my control centers are gone

I turn on the TV
Happiness, Splash Splash, Fun Fun
I stare from east to west, two, five, four


I can't decide at all
It's all so beautifully colorful here
I watch TV (she watches TV)
I watch TV (she watches TV)

I'm getting a bird because
Well, I don't touch a book anymore
Literature makes me sick
And I finished with doctor novels when I was twelve
Man, am I well-read, hey

And the refreshment wafers have melted
(Yuck, yuck, yuck)
And this damn chocolate makes you fatter and fatter
And fatter and fatter and

Oh, I turn on the TV
Happiness, Splash Splash, Fun Fun
Stare from east to west, two, five, four

I can't decide at all
It's all so beautifully colorful here
I watch TV
I watch TV


I watch TV
I watch TV
I watch TV
I watch TV
TV, TV, TV, TV, TV, TV, TV
I watch TV

TV, TV, TV, TV, TV, TV
TV is a drug
TV is addictive
TV, TV, TV, TV
