S.O.S. [English translation]

I sing this song

for the children of anger

they rebel, and are confused

they look for the way out of the labyrinth

the labyrinth that we have created

their fear is great

their chances slim, they have no guidance and they're getting no traction

For childish ears

there's too much information, they can't see the forest for the trees

They drift aimlessly over the ocean through wind and storm

Not a single lighthouse far and wide

Every time they try to jump over their shadow1

someone turns out2 the light

S.O.S.-- They call 'help'

out into the world, but no one notices

S.O.S.-- They write 'help'

in neon letters, but the pen is empty

They'd like to be adults already3 in the constant competition

And oh yes... they use narcotics because without them it would be unbearable

Help! Oh help, I cry in their name

Help, they need you, women as well as men

They drift aimlessly over the ocean through wind and storm

Not a single lighthouse far and wide

Every time they try to jump over their shadow

someone turns out the light

S.O.S.-- They call 'help'

out into the world, but no one notices

S.O.S.-- They write 'help'

in neon letters, but the pen is empty

1. take a leap of faith2. I suspect that should be "knippst irgend"3. This one was really hard for me and I did it wrong at first. I'm going with "Sie möchten auch/ach so gleich schon erwachsen sein..." for the German here.
