Wieder kein Hit [English translation]

This morning I turned around again

And put on a fine disc

I was Punk, Rapper, communist

I just wanted to try it out

I was thrilled, enchanted and touched

I was concerned. I felt it

I bought something, i don't need

I still can give it away

And everything I did afterwards, was no diet

It got very late

No Shades Of Grey!

But California ey!

Today I didn't write a hit, once more

But I came to terms with it

Didn't do what I was supposed to, again

I just did what I wanted to do

(Da da da...)

I asked him:"What's the point of that?"

I told her:"You're wonderful!"

I drove around, stopped

I talked to young and old people

I turned weird, with crazy people

Hey, truth be told: I watched Moody and Runkle

Listened to Simon and Garfunkel

Duty called, but I didn't hear it

Today I didn't write a hit, once more

Instead I've been on cloud 9

Didn't do what I was supposed to, again

I just did what I wanted to do

(Da da da...)

Should I go "thieving", steal melodies

For my evergreen

Nah, I'm taking a nap

Today I didn't write a hit, once more

But I came to terms with it

Didn't do what I was supposed to, again

I just did what I wanted to do

(Da da da...)
