Kopf oder Zahl [English translation]

Silent, still, staring they stand in a circle

They go after every piece of shit like flies,

There's nothing to see here, please move a long

Please, make some space for the career ladder

A man, a word, an undershirt

No hair on his head, but well-combed

The truth is feathered and tarred

There's nothing to see here, please look over there

Attention, Attention

Dance barefoot around the world

Attention, Attention

Dance barefoot around the wor-r-r-r-ld

Cause' time is money, nothing else matters

Every moment is worth hard cash, and the choice is yours:

Heads or tails 1

A gigantic pink-red elephant is in the room,

But one can hardly see him

Narcissistic phrases making bubbles

And blasting foam, foam, foam

A man, a word, a metronome

The current pulses to the beat of duty

A life that's been feathered and tarred

There's nothing to see here, please come closer

Attention, Attention

Dance barefoot around the world

Attention, Attention

Dance barefoot around the wor-r-r-r-ld

Cause' time is money, nothing else matters

Every moment is worth hard cash, and the choice is yours:

Heads or tails

Heads or tails

Heads or tails

Heads or

Heads or

Annoying things with screw-on tops

Without needing to, give it a kiss

But behind every out-stretched hand2

Every smile starts to scheme

Attention, Attention

Dance barefoot around the world

Attention, Attention

Dance barefoot around the wor-r-r-r-ld

Cause' time is money, nothing else matters

Every moment is worth hard cash, and the choice is yours:

Heads or tails

Heads or t-t-t-t-t-tails

1. At least in American English, I believe its much more common to say "heads or tails" using the plural in regards to the coin-tossing game. I've never heard anyone say "head or tail" in this context. I'm not sure why. 2. "hinter vorgehaltener Hand" would be an equivalent to the English phrase "on the quiet" according to http://www.dict.cc, but it requires a literal translation here due to the next line, if I understand it correctly
