Subtle dictation and indoctrination,
Governing us like this won’t work
we alarm, act and insist
You sit with Markus Lanz in the evening
and pray the secular rosary
and sing the litany together
about the great threat from the right-wing party
If I can choose, and guess who
then I choose, as the sovereign
and whoever does not allow me to choose freely
shows me where the wind is blowing from.
They court the foreign and are always ready
to love your neighbor when he comes from far away.
Domestic violence and the open knife
This import does not make our country any better
I have friends who come from far away.
And they love this homeland of ours.
And then for me they are part of it
with or without an accent, they are like me and you.
Behind green avatars,
the mustiness from the late 60s
They were elected and overnight
the goats in the country have been turned into gardeners
Late revenge is her master plan
You sit at Borchardt and eat vegan
They were asked for cluster munitions
Because they set out to do good.
And they work in the spirit of that devilish power
who creates evil with the will for good.
They discuss things with Markus Lanz in the evening
and the wreath of thorns goes to someone in the group
And a tribunal talks to him
because the way he speaks he must be a monster
Someone has to give the monster
And the others withdraw his blessing.
There will be no interruptions during the TV evening today
Because a guest is being interrogated on ZDF.
Tonight we’re chilling at home
Because at Markus Lanz a guest is being grilled.
Sitting behind the loom of their new ideology
they defend democracy, flimsily
as the harvestmen of defamation
with the fantasies of your utopia
in self-destructive idiocy
More than just the green bourgeoisie are hanging on
on the silken threads of Kakistocracy.
Emasculated Jacobins sing freedom songs
Don’t settle where the mainstream is rushing
When the old party is in danger of crashing
Every hour the powerlessness calls for a ban
but when you are big and no longer small
The middle is the first to let itself get involved with you
“I have awakened from a deep dream,”
don’t wear a halo tonight.

Someone has to be the monster
Going with the flow keeps you pure
Seeming good is in vogue
only a bad person behaves stubbornly
Nobody should be an inhuman
keep your thoughts pure
Running along is popular
Only evil people remain stubborn
