Schüsse in die Luft [English translation]

My mother says: Boy, get some rest,

take a break. But I'm supposed to go on the street says Farin Urlaub1.

Yes, OK, now I'll stay here but I'm alone up against a wall

There's only me here, nothing else, only this stone in my hand.

It's a lonely war against the mess that surrounds me

the fucked up mess that apparently no-one but me can see,

but like if nobody looks outside,

they'd rather be on the sofa watching

Wife Swap or Farmer seeks a Wife2

and yes, naturally, only for laughs and only in passing.

But compared to the victims there3 your own life is pretty terrific

A dog doesn't bite if he barks4 and everything is fine

as long as those on RTL5 are still a bit dumber than you.

And I fire into the air (bang, bang, bang)

I go to war but no-one comes with me.

Three shots in the air (bang, bang, bang)

Sadly I'm the only one out here again.

And I fire into the air (bang, bang, bang)

but there's no reaction only complaints about the noise.

Three shots in the air (bang, bang, bang)

the revolution, or Berlin Day and Night6 .

You'll not be disappointed if you never expect anything

and before you do anything wrong, better do nothing at all,

Someone will say something sometime,

or else you just have to be satisfied with what you have

And even if everything's gone to pot, you're broke and just can't do anything

then just be simply proud of your land,

Or blame a couple of other poor swine

Hey how would that be then for the people in the asylum seekers centre?

And no, I was never against everything, I was always against you

so a long time ago I started to come to terms with things,

and that's exactly what I didn't want to do: I've been here far too long already,

I must get away from here because otherwise I'll sometime get to be like you.

And I fire into the air (bang, bang, bang)

I go to war but no-one comes with me.

Three shots in the air (bang, bang, bang)

Sadly I'm the only one out here again.

And I fire into the air (bang, bang, bang)

but there's no reaction, only complaints about the noise.

Three shots in the air (bang, bang, bang)

the revolution, or Berlin day and night.

Nobody cares about anything except the cell phone contract

(and I paint everything black).

With 390 Euros Hartz7 security you don't get far in the health food shop

(and I paint everything black)

Your crappy comment was of course only a joke, OK?

(and I paint everything black)

All night long serving drunken nitwits in the bar

for 7 dollars an hour on the black.

And I fire into the air (bang, bang, bang)

I go to war but no-one comes with me.

Three shots in the air (bang, bang, bang)

Sadly I'm the only one out here again.

And I fire into the air (bang, bang, bang)

but there's no reaction, only complaints about the noise.

Three shots in the air (bang, bang, bang)

the revolution, or Berlin day and night.

And I fire into the air (bang, bang, bang)

Three shots in the air (bang, bang, bang)

And I fire into the air (bang, bang, bang)

Three shots in the air (bang, bang, bang)

1. the nickname of a german Rock singer who likes to go on holiday (hence the nickname)2. two appalling television series; Farmer seeks a Wife was loosely based on an English version of a Swiss original, there are some details at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farmer_Wants_a_Wife3. the tv shows' "entertainment value" consisted of getting unsuspecting participants into embarrasing situations, so victims is a fair description; or one could just all them "losers"4. Empty vessels make the most noise.5. RTL was the channel which broadcast those shows in Germany6. Another German TV series, broadcast on RTL2, and about as awful as the two previously mentioned7. The Minister responsable for a recent change in social security for the long term unemployed
