Blasserdünnerjunge macht sein Job [English translation]
Blasserdünnerjunge macht sein Job [English translation]
He's back, dude, triggering you again, dude!
Smack, smack for Policeman's Son1
Phone's ringing like crazy, the alarm's been set off
For the guys from programme management
I render washed brains dirty again
Of high educational value like Peter Lustig2
I'm doing my job. Still I'm sitting
At the kebap store every day at noon
Pretty square: a coke, Adana roast
And a lamb roast
You're wanking in your leased BMW 5 series
Looking slightly sad
For I'm beating you at the flag drop
With my Toyota Auris
You call me a jester?
I say: thanks!
As reward, I treat you to
A Carazza3 at the gas station
Look, right where I sit
Credibility crawls, doesn't give a shit4
For I'm crossing borders while I work every day
Like the border patrol
It's just my job, ha-ha
No offense
And fat Vera's sitting in Potsdam5
Looking like an idiot and crying
Why does Pale Thin Boy
Get so much respect?
ProSieben's like: "Defeat Raab"6
I'm like: "Challenge accepted!"
I'm doing my job
Crawl to the underlings, bully the bigwigs
Gags instead of grenades
Jokes instead of missiles
And you're amazed with mouth agape
What a freak this guy is
Unfuckable, like Super Mario when he's powered up after digesting a star
Pale Thin Boy is coming: redneck with a college degree
Pale Thin Boy is coming: love him or hate him
Bzzzt, bzzt, Spiegel Online breaking news vibrating
Pale Thin Boy must've pulled one off again
Pale Thin Boy opens windows to your head
Pale Thin Boy - biceps like Kate Moss
Pale Thin Boy sitting in the front of the bus
A boy's gotta do what a boy's gotta do
I'm doing my job, you think I suck?
Go fuck your models, I've tindered #TeamGinaLisa7
"Huh? Wait a minute. Was that another fake
By Pale Thin Boy"?
Take a hint: if you take me seriously
I'm gonna fuck you over hard
Günther's sucking on my middle finger
Guido Cunt can't take a joke8
The directorship ask their legal department:
"Is that wanker allowed to do that?
Is this really necessary?" I say: obviously it is!
Is this still satire or already a revolution?
Leftists take me for a Nazi
Nazis take me for a leftist
No Monchichi hairdo
Look: receding hairline!
Beatrix von Storch9 calls me
An entertainment instigator
Just because I publically wonder
If Frauke Petry tastes of Marcus Pretzell10
I'm doing my job, you wonder:
Why is that idiot famous?
Then you cry like Staiger11:
"He should stay out of my rap game!"
So, Focus Online, are you generating
Clicks again using my name?
I'm scratching my balls, have a grin
And give zero fucks!
Pale Thin Boy is coming: redneck with a college degree
Pale Thin Boy is coming: love him or hate him
Bzzzt, bzzt, Spiegel Online breaking news vibrating
Pale Thin Boy must've pulled one off again
Pale Thin Boy opens windows to your head
Pale Thin Boy - biceps like Kate Moss
Pale Thin Boy sitting in the front of the bus
A boy's gotta do what a boy's gotta do
I don't give a shit about your hate speech
For I've got a flatrate for my TV license fee12
You think my show's whack and totally gay?
Hey, I've got a flatrate for my TV license fee
Bild.de is using me for click-bait
Fuck that, they've got a flatrate for their TV license fee, too
Everybody's saluting me politely in Bremen North
For I've got a flatrate for my TV license fee
Pale Thin Boy is coming: redneck with a college degree
Pale Thin Boy is coming: love him or hate him
Bzzzt, bzzt, Spiegel Online breaking news vibrating
Not your level of quality? Well... bummer!
Pale Thin Boy, alone in the trenches
Pale Thin Boy, why don't you call Tobi Schlegl's ambulance?13
Pale Thin Boy sitting in the front of the bus
Policman's Son's gotta do what Policeman's Son's gotta do
1. "Policeman's Son", along with "Pale Thin Boy", is one of Böhmermann's rap names.2. Referencing the German educational TV show "Löwenzahn" and its host.3. A small instant meal pizza.4. Untranslateable pun; "am Arsch vorbeigehen" ("to not give a shit") literally means "to walk past s/o's ass".5. References Vera Int-Veen, a former German TV show host. Böhmermann had infiltrated her show and uncovered everything the production team faked about it ("Verafake").6. A former German TV show where show host Stefan Raab squared off against a candidate in a variety of (intellectual and physical) games.7. Complex reference. Gina-Lisa Lohfink, German "it girl", went public about being a victim of sexual abuse; this resulted in a solidarity hashtag "#teamginalisa" which, however, has also been the target of many misogynist postings. Here Böhmermann toys with the idea that he's so devious that you can never be sure what is real and what is one of his meticulously organized fakes.8. Guido Cantz is the current host of "Verstehen Sie Spaß?" (lit. "Can you take a joke?"), the German version of "Candid Camera".9. One of the heads of the German alt-right party AfD ("Alternative für Deutschland")10. The other two heads of the AfD.11. Marcus Staiger, German rap label boss. Böhmermann was criticized by the German rap scene as being a "wannabe".12. In Germany, you pay a monthly license fee for TV and radio. "Flatrate" is a joke here since the fee is the same for everybody anyway.13. Former German TV host who announced he would retire and become a paramedic instead.
