Das Goldene Stück Lyrics in English Wizo

Home / Lyrics Translation / Wizo / Das Goldene Stück

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Das Goldene Stück by Wizo from German to English.

You fat pigs sit in Bonn

And live it up

While all the people

Who believed in you are going to the dogs

You lied to them and didn't even

Blush

You are to blame for the hatred

The violence and the murders

And now the brown Nazi scum is inciting

Against minorities

You pour oil on the fire and briefly change the constitution

And the little idiot with his incendiary device in hand

Feels like a legitimate avenger of his fatherland

The golden piece of sh*t goes to you

Because you truly deserve it

You fought hard for it

And that's why you should have it

The golden piece of sh*t goes to you

In recent years, you've traveled a lot

And kissed many airports around the world

Every year at your open-air concert at Petersplatz

You always had a great line ready

You know your Bible by heart

And know that it says

That contraception is a sin and therefore not allowed

And children are still dying

Because they have nothing to eat

But woe to those who don't believe your lies

The golden piece of sh*t goes to you

Because you truly deserve it

You fought hard for it

And that's why you should have it

The golden piece of sh*t goes to you

-Sh*tty solo-

The golden piece of sh*t goes to you and me

Because we're still blabbering stupidly here

We stay dumb and die stupid

And don't deserve any better

Nothing has ever happened through whining

The golden piece of sh*t goes to us

Because we truly deserve it

We still haven't done anything

And that's why we should get it too

The golden piece of sh*t goes to us

The golden piece of sh*t goes to me

Because I truly deserve it

I fought hard for it

And that's why I want it too

The golden piece of sh*t

The golden piece of sh*t goes to me

SONG MEANING

Wizo’s “Das Goldene Stück” is a loud, sarcastic award ceremony set to punk guitars. The band dishes out an imaginary trophy — the “golden piece of crap” — to everyone they hold responsible for society’s mess: comfy politicians in Bonn who fuel hate while pretending to fix it, reactionary church leaders whose dogmas let children starve, and violent neo-Nazis who feel encouraged by those in power. With rapid-fire insults and dark humor, Wizo exposes hypocrisy, greed, and the deadly results of empty promises.

In the final twist, the band turns the spotlight on all of us — and even on themselves. By admitting “we’re still babbling and doing nothing,” they remind listeners that apathy is just as prize-worthy as blatant corruption. The song is both a scathing protest and a self-aware wake-up call: if we do not act, we all earn the golden piece of crap together.
