Im Interesse unserer Gemeinschaft [English translation]

Hate kills too many nerves

Hate drains your energy

Before us there lie shards

But before us lies so much

[Chorus:]

Is it in the interest

Of our society

That our best

Lie on the ground?

Is it in the interest

Of our nation

That everybody gets

Screwed up the rear?

In these minds lie hidden treasures

That are hard, hard, hard to grab ahold of

But if nobody is to open their hearts

Then we are gambling with our very future

[Chorus]

Europe streets nowadays wanna beat me down

Seems the government structure wanna keep me down

Look around, what's going on inna Babylon

What's happenin', tryna destroy me

Can't run, can't find a way to hide

It seems like it's a suicide

It looks like we just lost a fight

I wonder how we will survive

Television got us under hypnotics

With the youth like under narcotics

Wanna swap us for robotics

Pure water's become toxic

It seems this planet's lost it

It's more than rumors and gossip

Gotta run, gotta get through, yeah

You gotta run before they get you too

[Chorus]

If you expect something

Expect nothing

'Cause if we don't move something

Nothing will move

It would be doable

Now more than ever

Oh, it should be workable

Nobody dead and nobody hurt

[Chorus]
