Empty faces, many questions
No one who gives them an answer
What can they still dare here?
Tonight they strike back

Helmets waiting for command
Clubs beating heads in
Water whips them through the streets
No one has to be a cop!

And the hatred, it rises
And our anger, it drives
Our hearts are burning
Our hearts are burning
And the hatred, it rises
And our anger, it drives
Our hearts are burning
Our hearts are burning

Banish me from the city, I don't care what you say
Who has no backbone is sworn in to the state
Rather receive Hartz 4, lie in bed until four
Drink beer, deal weed, snort speed than earn money in state service
The siren in my ears annoys
I have nothing to reproach myself
I'm far from free of sin, but step forward to throw
Being a cop means that people with opinions are enemies
You are beating children again as if they were your own

I'd rather wear a pink designer shirt and beg at the station for a few cents
Rather snort a line of cement than be down with Rainer Wendt
I'm warming up because the onset of darkness is approaching
The next police station is just a stone's throw away

And the hatred, it rises
And our anger, it drives
Our hearts are burning
Our hearts are burning!
And the hatred, it rises
And our anger, it drives
Our hearts are burning
Our hearts are burning!
