Stumm [English translation]

Tell me why I get up every day

get out every day and work my ass off

And don't even get half of my wage

as soon as I 've paid my bills

and don't have anything to save after

'cause the rest of my money is going to the state

Why are they making it so hard for us?

And please tell me why does it seem

like you only get rich here

when you're already rich?

in a world where the majority is already poor

And in which you're nothing without money

That's how it is, and it will stay

and everyone knows

But I speak it out and I mean it

Everyone deserves a chance

Bridge:

And that's what they do with us

Man, they brainwash us

And they reign and manipulate us

and controle us with cops

And there's no one that can something

The whole world has the consume delusion

They all sit in front of their screen

Or are sticked to their computers

Hook:

And that's how they keep us ignorant

And that's how they keep us quiet

And that's how they keep us ignorant

And that's how they keep us quiet

And that's how they keep us poor

And that's how they keep us under

And every doubt is undeserved

It's a fact, that this system is unfair

Second verse

And if you politicians for once would really think of Germany

And if you would lower these damn taxes first

Just consider it, who would be able to afford it

Such a big fee for so few achievements

it's obvious that people are dissappointed and doubtful

disregard Germany and think this country sucks

'cause you make it way too hard for all

And tell me why money seems to be the only thing

for which succes is missing

And tell me why none of the kids say

that not everything that shines is gold

And tell me, what does democracy mean?

'cause nothing's happening for the people

What's happened to our power?

Bridge:

But we let them do that to us

Man, they're brainwashing us

And they reign and break

and controle us with cops

And there's no one who can do something about it

The whole world is in consume delusion

They all sit in front of their screen

Or are sticked to their computers

Hook:

And that's how they keep us ignorant

And that's how they keep us quiet

And that's how they keep us ignorant

And that's how they keep us quiet

And that's how they keep us poor

And that's how they keep us under

And every doubt is undeserved

It's a fact, that this system is unfair
