Gott Folk [English translation]

Better, better better, people, you know better, better, better.

Better, better better, people, you know better

Racists and hypocrites,

Haters, talkers

pundits, naggers

jokers, [made-up word]

Real things are important things

Things that happen, so look around

Give me something cause I'm gasping for air

Confusion and chaos and now enough with the bluff

Many are hungry, many of them die

How can we live like some people do?

And they go right down the middle of it

Or tackle it,

Keep your back straight and your head high.

the police shoot, riots started,

Media gossip and tears fall

Drowned in the noise or sunk in drunkenness

The hate and the talk stay longest at home

Folk are so scared and people so cold

So are people ready when emotions run high?

Chorus:

I say

If we get along better, understand better

The better it goes the better we'll feel

If we grow better and think better

Better I think we'll become better people.

If we get along better, understand better

The better it goes the better we'll feel

If we grow better and think better

Better I think we'll become better people.

When the walls fall, when eyes are opened

When the cries and the stones reach the highest

Hall of the king, ministers, bosses

As it gets worse it makes the risk fatter

That something will happen, something will change

That something takes a turn, should be expected

But we carry on and we traipse and we fight

Trudge and work in dilapidated shacks

Hope we love we believe and judge

We're blinded, we're held back, they reshape the lies

The advertising and pictures and dreams disappear.

We glare and we run they empty our memory.

Love is missing like power to the people.

Then they want to listen we move in that direction.

It’s wrong, down with it, enough with it, stop with it

If they dare to deny us we’ll set fire to it.

Chorus:

I say

If we get along better, understand better

The better it goes the better we'll feel

If we grow better and think better

Better I think we'll become better people.

If we get along better, understand better

The better it goes the better we'll feel

If we grow better and think better

Better I think we'll become better people.

The time has come so take me by the collar.

People run them over and shoot at the stomach.

The decision is made, they ask no-one.

No-one dares at all

Protest, more and many.

Eliminate, elevate.

They miss the point, blame certain people

Forget about the long run and celebrate fascists

Put an end to it, out with it, let me be!

For no-one can stop our song today

And you know, cause we take it there…

And we want to, so we take it there

And you want to, so we take it there.

Chorus 2x:

I say

If we get along better, understand better

The better it goes the better we'll feel

If we grow better and think better

Better I think we'll become better people.

If we get along better, understand better

The better it goes the better we'll feel

If we grow better and think better

Better I think we'll become better people.
