Hoch entwickelt [English translation]

The harsh everyday world is slogging you down

Is the world filled with only zombies, is what you spontaneously ask

But looking from the outside you could be one as well

Heading stubbornly forward or to the ground with that hoodie in your face

Hoping you wouldn't steer one of those zombies on your scent

And that none of these energy drainers would ever talk to you

So you would have to break your rather brazen vow of silence

All for none and one against all

It's survival of the fittest this side of Eden

Everyone can see it, everyone can notice

Everyone must admit, it can't be going on like this

[Chorus:]

That's what I'd call a highly developed

Communication disorder

And I thought we were highly developed and

Now we're standing at the wreckage

Of this so called most highly developed

Empire under the sun

But I can hear the yearning for a genuine life

It cannot be obscured

Listen to your heart

Then you can also feel another's pain

Then you can also hear his words

To understand another is like a sacred place

Let peace be created by word and by deed

Hearing, feeling, talking, and laughing

Why are we so often facing each other with hostility?

Everyone of us has children and children are above that

[Chorus]

And yet again I feel the urge

The urge to live, not some time soon

But now, together with you all

And we're working that out every day

Even when we don't like to talk about it

Because we'd much rather sow fear and chase others

And needlessly plague them with our needs

From the cradle to the grave

[Chorus]
