Tunnel [English translation]

See, see, that's what you get

Crisis, crisis is what you got

Dark, dark everything has become

Only desert, desert of steel and concrete

Whatever! Ah-ratter ratter-batta-batta-peng

Get the excavator, motherfucker, we're running out of space

Take off the roof, make noise, until the walls burst apart

Because soon whole continents are going to burn

The rest of the globe is just googling around

I dig-dig-dig for glory

Boy oh boy, the pump's pumping

Rumpedipumpel, pumpeldipumm

As long as not everyone's digging, this'll take a long time

So this is going out to all the men and all the women

Yes, what are you wain ting for? All together now

We're journeying into the underground

Come, let's dig ourselves a tunnel, yes, we're digging a hole

Come on down, what are you still waiting for?

To dark for you? Why didn't you say?

We're friends, of course we'll make some light

In our tunnel, yes, we'll dig ourselves in

Come on down, you can't stay up there

For now it's still dark, but better than nothing

Just a few seconds, and we'll make some light

But, there still a fuse burning down here

Otherwise everything's dark, nothing can be made out well

Just come down, it's no if you think

You'll be surprised, here's our gift

Just one more moment, then you'll see what's up

The leaf turns like a magazine, they want to agree with us

We'll proove to you what they up there want to keep from you

paradies lies under big layers of stone

Peautiful tunnel vision, entepeneurs amogn themselves

Up there everything's uncertain, when you break it down

The upper class wonders why they're not down here with us

High Society is now called lower class

"Come in, then you can look out"

Archeologist pigs want to dig us up

Take a time-out, look beyond your horizon

Instead of ostriches, sticking your heads in the sand

As long as not everyone's digging, this'll take a long time

So this is going out to all the men and all the women

Yes, what are you wain ting for? All together now

We're journeying into the underground

Come, let's dig ourselves a tunnel, yes, we're digging a hole

Come on down, what are you still waiting for?

To dark for you? Why didn't you say?

We're friends, of course we'll make some light

In our tunnel, yes, we'll dig ourselves in

Come on down, you can't stay up there

For now it's still dark, but better than nothing

Just a few seconds, and we'll make some light

And then we'll make some light...

Because there still a fuse burning down here

Otherwise everything's dark, nothing can be made out well

Just come down, it's no if you think

You'll be surprised, here's our gift

And just in that moment when you get it

Lightning and thunder, lights switch on everywhere

All the faces are there just for you

Welcome

Come, let's dig ourselves a tunnel, yes, we're digging a hole

Come on down, what are you still waiting for?

To dark for you? Why didn't you say?

We're friends, of course we'll make some light

In our tunnel, yes, we'll dig ourselves in

Come on down, you can't stay up there

For now it's still dark, but better than nothing

Just a few seconds, and we'll make some light

Come, let's dig ourselves a tunnel, yes, we're digging a hole

Come on down, what are you still waiting for?

To dark for you? Why didn't you say?

We're friends, of course we'll make some light

In our tunnel, yes, we'll dig ourselves in

Come on down, you can't stay up there

For now it's still dark, but better than nothing

Just a few seconds, and we'll make some light
