Das Gute gewinnt [English translation]

When I look out there in the world

It’s hard to believe in anything

Who took our sanity away, ¹

how low have we already gone

I see gamblers who helplessly miscalculate

and spend the money they’ve lent themselves, ²

which turns their lust into self-indulgences

and get off without having to take the responsibility ³

This world runs head-on against the wall

Tell me if you still really believe in it

that the good wins out, that the good wins out ⁴

that the good wins out, that the good wins out

A father who forgets himself too often, ⁵

who thinks that his fist means I love you

Priests preach to ease the misery

and then raise their hands against children ⁶

Leaders, who poison beliefs

to cause wars in the name of God

I see people too far to the right and too proud ⁷

of their country; of the black, red, and gold ⁸

You say you never give up hope,

but I say it is and remains a delusion ⁹

‘cause the good never wins out, ‘cause the good never wins out

‘cause the good never wins out, do you think the good wins out?

and that a hero comes and carries us through the fire

and routs out our enemies? ¹⁰

that the good wins out, that the good wins out

good wins out, the good wins out
