High mountains, wide valleys
Plus a few nature reserves
Everything runs on schedule here
Chance is our enemy
Our TV program, our autobahn
There are a thousand good reasons
To be proud of this country
Why does it suddenly occur to us
Not a single one anymore?
Our favorite word is performance
We're geared toward progress
Nothing here isn't for sale
We do anything for good money
All the corruption, the Union
There are a thousand good reasons
To be proud of this country
Why does it suddenly occur to us
Not a single one anymore?
There are a thousand good reasons
To be proud of this country
Why does it suddenly occur to us
Not a single one anymore?
Our passports are forgery-proof
And our résumés known
Nobody seems to notice here
That it's hardly possible to breathe
A rubber bullet for every maverick
We love our country, we love our country
Where are all those reasons
To be proud of this country?
No matter how hard we think
Nothing comes to mind
Where are all those reasons
To be proud of this country?
No matter how hard we think
Nothing occurs to us
