Translation of Grauer Beton from German to English
(Kitschkrieg, Kitschkrieg, Kitschkrieg, Kitschkrieg, Kitschkrieg)
Grey concrete, rough jargon
Freedom won, again squandered
Up and away, not another season
Up and away, not another season
Grey concrete, rough jargon
Images blurred, don't turn back
Up and away, not another season
Up and away, not another season
Old school, steep curve, always headwind
Follow the turncoat there, where mom still wrings her hands
Carefree years end too soon
No one tells you that it ends well
In my entrance hardly anything good going on
Friends become dull, become ruthless
Rather live fast, restless
Instead of siding, no destination station
Soul catchers sneak around the block and
Do business with hope
Almost behind every door lurks an abyss
Just so you know where I come from
Soul catchers sneak around the block and
Do business with hope
Almost behind every door lurks an abyss
Just so you know where I come from
All good things come from above
The zebra finch flew to me
And now and then right where we live
A whole truck full of Bulgarian melons
Kids from overseas were our icons
And white sneakers worth more than millions
White sneakers worth more than millions
White sneakers worth more than millions
I still often think back to my street
To the old ones and the kids from my street
From the slab, from my floor
We were forgotten there, beginning of the nineties
Desolate situation, every day with the baggage
Don't ask what was going on with me, hung out every day with the baggage
New colorful bills speak their own language
New colorful world shines in the neon sign
Soul catchers sneak around the block and
Do business with hope
Almost behind every door lurks an abyss
Just so you know where I come from
Soul catchers sneak around the block and
Do business with hope
Almost behind every door lurks an abyss
Just so you know where I come from
Grey concrete, rough jargon
Freedom won, again squandered
Up and away, not another season
Up and away, not another season
Grey concrete, rough jargon
Images blurred, don't turn back
Up and away, not another season
Up and away, not another season
