Gute Menschen [English translation]

I only see good people

everywhere just good people

Everything is simple, you're simply naïve

you don't think critically, just a thread on your nape like a marionette

then off in the direction "Happiness"

a life in a corset

A good person eliminates what he doesn't know

So the good people don't feel like victims,

they learn from childhood: play robots

Elbows out and take aim at victims

arch the back upwards, earn themselves a gold cock

only happy oranges in the juicer

even the Mettigel1 laughs in their ugly faces

A good person has to do what a good person has to do

Luxury and glory, sucking around until the end2

I don't know what you all see, I only see good people

They all love children, they all donate blood

and the last thing that one still misses here

is the answer to the question: why does everything stay the same?

Soft punishments for violent foreigners, no go

no, they're not nazis, even they drink coffee Togo3

They were even on vacation in a place where black people were

and on Fathers' Day was Roberto Blanco on TV,

who was a wonderful n*gger, where's the problem?4

Child molesters must die, totally ok

Böhse Onkelz5 on the rear windshield

with German flags waving through the streets

Everything meant well, out of worry for their blood brothers

You are the People6, just anxious angry citizens

regulars' table mode, now it'll be loudly discussed

Black, red, green, everything looks mottled brown7

What, what homophobe? (no, no, no, no, no)

They're there for sick people, gays can too be cured

One hand washes the other clean

Bake brownies for the wedding, share moors' heads8

And when the first stanza9 plays in the sport clubhouse

and the brother sings, it's not at all bad

No one is deporting anybody here

everyone loves Aydin Döner – best sauce in the city

I don't know what you all have

I only see good people who don't want anything evil

no, they only think about our future

And they probably won't ever understand

why I need to puke when I see them

I don't know what you all have, I only see good people

They all love children, they all donate blood

and the last thing that one still misses here

is the answer to the question: why does everything stay the same?

1. a Mettigel is a clump of raw meat (mettwurst) made to look like a hedgehog, often served at parties2. this is a play on a German rapper lyric about foxes doing what they must3. Togo is the English "to go," but sounds like the African country Togo (i.e. exotic and means they're tolerant)4. Roberto Blanco is a famous "Schlager" singer, and black, the next line is a quote from the Bavarian minister of the interior, who used this phrasing to refer to him5. Böhse Onkelz is a German band that has a questionable rightwing/nazi background (heavily debated)6. "Wir sind das Volk" (we are the people) was originally a slogan of the East Germans during the Monday demonstrations in 1989/1990, but revived recently in the right radical movement in Germany7. these are political party colors; brown being associated with right wing/nazis8. "Moor heads" is the politically incorrect term for a kind of chocolate-covered marshmallow candy9. the first stanza of the German national anthem, now banned (the famous "über alles" portion of the anthem)
