Luxus [English translation]

All the world on drugs, cities in beauty sleep

Passengers are excitedly slurping oysters

The message is to be groomed, good-quality winy the votes

Everything is clean here, happiness is in

We're twisting around ourselves, because whatever happens, happens

We don't want any influence, we like to be governed

Stop preaching here, stop chatting around

We're celebrating a party here and you're not invited

Our doubts are drowned in champagne

And cocaine helps our heads

Our dreams are always becoming smaller

You're only chosen if you survive

We're twisting around ourselves, because whatever happens, happens

We don't want any influence, we like to be governed

Stop preaching here, stop chatting around

We're celebrating a party here and you're not invited

We're only surrounded by kashmir and silk

All our desires are fulfilled

Ideals are sold out, so are hopes and utopias

Luxury is what keeps us together

We're twisting around ourselves, because whatever happens, happens

We don't want any influence, we like to be governed

Stop preaching here, stop chatting around

We're celebrating a party here and you're not invited

The train engine is on the main track

But the side tracks are at standstill

Warning signals are overrun

Everyone standing in the way of the euphoria is hunted

Plan fulfilled, united and each day more alone
