Clothing is against God, we wear a fig leaf
We swing on vines over Heinrichplatz
And the old folks talk about house-to-house fights
At a barbecue in the ruins of Deutsche Bank
Bird nests in a riddled neon sign
We warm ourselves at a burning German flag
And when someone sleeps on a park bench
It's only 'cause a girl leans on his arm
Three hours of work a day, 'cause it needs no more
Tonight we'll dream up names for stars
We thank that bomb from ten years ago
And make love till the sun can see it
Remember when we carved into the desks at school
Please Lord don't forgive them, 'cause they know what they do
Under the cobblestones the sandy beach waits
If not with rap, then with the shotgun
And we sing in the nuclear bunker
Hooray, this world is going under
Hooray, this world is going under
Hooray, this world is going under
And we sing in the nuclear bunker
Hooray, this world is going under
Hooray, this world is going under
Paradise on the rubble
Grab a bow and arrow, we'll hunt a treat
There's no jail anymore, we grill on the prison bars
Burned McDonald's testify to our heroic deeds
Since we chased Nestlé off the fields
Apples taste like apples and tomatoes like tomatoes
And we cook our food in the soldiers' helmets
You wanna smoke? Then go pick something in the garden
But our life today is bearable even sober
Come on, let's speed through the moss-covered
halls of the Reichstag for an office-chair race
Our front doors don't need locks anymore
Money turned to confetti and we slept better
A gold bar's the same as a brick to us
The fire dies down, toss another Bible in
The kids get scared 'cause I tell them about the Pope
This life is so beautiful
Who needs a life after that?
And we sing in the nuclear bunker
Hooray, this world is going under
Hooray, this world is going under
Hooray, this world is going under
And we sing in the nuclear bunker
Hooray, this world is going under
Hooray, this world is going under
Paradise on the rubble
The cows graze behind us, we smoke weed and play backgammon
Where Potsdamer Platz used to be
When I wake up I stroke your hair once more
Honey I'm off to work, be right back
We get up when we want, drive off when we want
Look how we want, have sex how we want
And not how the church or porn tells us
Baby the time with you was so lovely
now it's over again, but our kids don't cry
Because we raise them all together
Do you remember when they wanted to put out the big fire?
That feeling when our passports melted in the flames?
They really thought their sh*t would last forever
I show the little ones Monopoly, but they don't get it
A hundred-euro bill? What's that supposed to be?
Why should I take anything from you when we share everything?
And we sing in the nuclear bunker
Hooray, this world is going under
Hooray, this world is going under
Hooray, this world is going under
And we sing in the nuclear bunker
Hooray, this world is going under
Hooray, this world is going under
Paradise on the rubble
