Do you remember when you used to say that I was one of those kids
Who would never make it out, uncontrollable and way too fierce
Who dirtied your center without obeying your every command
Who had nothing but ashes and a need to live life in the fast lane
Do you remember when you said that I wouldn't make it to 16
And that I would end up dead in a corner of a street
Where the soul of a lost kid who didn't care anymore would lie
Or a future in a cell behind bars or among the crazies
Hey asshole, do you remember when you thought
That I was only good for running away, acting stupid or getting high
The example not to follow, the one the laws hated
Pointed out and since the age of 12 no longer in school
In short, the whole package, do you remember that when you talked about me
You never talked to me about the future, damn I was tired sometimes
Of all this bullshit, but look hey don't be disgusted
But I'm alive and I don't regret never having listened to you

Hey asshole, I'm talking to you, do you recognize yourself?
Director of a center and children's home and let me laugh
Mr. know-it-all and it's especially to destroy kids
Or the hope of parents, asshole no one can predict tomorrow
Hey asshole, I'm talking to you and I haven't forgotten
Don't worry neither your backstabbing
Nor your beautiful words that in the end extort
The little hope that remains when you say there is none left
I don't care, I never listened to you
But my mother believed you

Do you remember when you told her that my case was hopeless
And that joining the straight path I was quite incapable
It was "we can no longer save this savage, madam, you have to accept it"
But what did you think? That you were going to save me or your Lucifer
What did you believe? That we help kids with training
But all your institutions lead to loss, do you get the message?
So if you still believe that to gain obedience
It's through force that it happens
It's because you're still as senseless
Hey asshole, to calm us down, what were your methods?
Oh yeah, drug the kids by filling their heads with meds
Hey asshole, too easy to make them swallow neuroleptics
And little troublemakers turned into vegetables by your chemical straitjacket
Hey asshole, in your eyes what were we all?
Just bad seeds, right?
That you crushed so that nothing would grow
With deceit, secondly I serve as revenge
You can always pray to your devil that none of us take revenge

Hey jerk, I'm talking to you, do you recognize yourself?
Director of a center and children's home, let me laugh
Mister know-it-all, mainly destroying kids
Or parents' hope, jerk, no one can claim tomorrow
Hey jerk, I'm talking to you and I haven't forgotten
Don't worry, neither your dirty tricks
Nor your beautiful words that ultimately extort
The little hope left when you say there's none
I don't care, I never listened to you
But my mother, she believed you

Do you remember when you maliciously ordered
That no educator should leave me unsupervised for a second
Afraid that I would leave, what's wrong with you?
Did you think I was going to let myself die?
In your enclosure or wait for someone to come rescue me?
No, but what did you think?
That you can cure a fire with alcohol?
Walking to the beat, I'd give you a dose of Haldol
Because you had no right and you know it very well
Besides, I could drag you in front of your courts, your skirmisher practices
But it's not in my principles, the wheel will turn for you too
And you will remember that day, me and the other little unruly ones
Because there's a justice up there more than your system
And we always end up paying for the effects of the kids we sow

Hey jerk, hey jerk, I'm talking to you, do you recognize yourself?
Hey jerk, hey jerk, I'm talking to you, do you recognize yourself?
Hey jerk, hey jerk, I'm talking to you, do you recognize yourself?
Hey jerk, hey jerk, I'm talking to you, do you recognize yourself?

Hey jerk, I'm talking to you, do you recognize yourself?
Director of a center and children's home, let me laugh
Mister know-it-all, mainly destroying kids
Or parents' hope, jerk, no one can claim tomorrow
Hey jerk, I'm talking to you and I haven't forgotten
Don't worry, neither your dirty tricks
Nor your beautiful words that ultimately extort
The little hope left when you say there's none
I don't care, I never listened to you
But my mother, she believed you

Hey jerk, I'm talking to you, do you recognize yourself?

Hey jerk, I'm talking to you, do you recognize yourself?
Director of a center and children's home, let me laugh

I don't regret
Never having listened to you

I don't regret
Never having listened to you
