Der Turm stürzt ein [English translation]
Der Turm stürzt ein [English translation]
On the fields of asphalt herds of golden calves are grazing
day and night.
Above them skyscrapers
where the computers eat noisily.
Oh, where is there still room for me
or a roof for you?
Do you hear it whisper in the country?
Dracula is looking for a coffin
Helmut buys coke in the park.
Do you see the writing on the wall?
The tower is collapsing
The tower is collapsing
Hallelujah, the tower is collapsing.
The pepsodent of the USA
is a cool loser of his power
Shiny, but already corroded by rust
he flies through the Wild West.
Oh, where is there still room for me
or a roof for you?
Do you hear it whisper in the country?
Old Shatterhand and Nietsche dead,
God steals his bread in the Kaufhof.
Do you see the writing on the wall?
Refrain
Soots in concrete and steel,
tired all material.
Do you hear the whispers in the country?
Jesus comes even though there's a decline in the birth rate
The flute kicked with a fist.
The post office officials are wearing black
a ton of oil costs a thousand Mark.
Do you see the writing on the wall?
