Lyrics
Lorelei (translation)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't know what it shall mean
But something isn't correct with the people
I think that we live in sin
And God lets shake the earth soon
Shit here, shit there, it is shitty year by year
And I tell you the truth
Finally today in full clarity
New German wave
Is new German hell!
I am very sensitive as a fish anyway
And sometimes I cry like an onion, yes!
Then I reach fast for my Bible
And search for courage at fear, protection from danger
Fog here, fog there, it is foggy, year by year
And I tell you the truth
Finally today in full clarity
This generation suspects the truth already
Rainer Werner Fassbinder what have you done
You became a subject to the white powder
Man, oh cheek, what a shit
Everybody has another quirk
And I tell you the truth
Finally today in full clarity
We must change
In all earthly countries.
I don't know what it shall mean
But something isn't right with the people
