Was sinnst du, Bürger, bleich und welk?
Hält dich ein Spuk zum Narren?
Nachtschlafend hörst du im Gebälk
den Totenkäfer scharren.
Er wühlt und bohrt, gräbt und rumort,
und seine Beine tasten
um Säcke und um Kasten.
Horch, Bürger, horch! Der Käfer läuft.
Er kratzt ans Hauptbuch eilig.
Nichts, was du schwitzend aufgehäuft,
ist seinen Fühlern heilig.
Der Käfer rennt. Der Bürger flennt.
In bangen Angstgedanken
fühlt er die Erde wanken.
Ja, Bürger, die Erde bebt.
Es wackelt deine Habe.
Was du geliebt, was du erstrebt,
das rasselt jetzt zu Grabe.
Aus Dur wird Moll, aus Haben Soll.
Erst fallen die Devisen,
dann fällst du selbst zu diesen.
Hörst, Bürger, du den Totenwurm?
Er fährt durch Holz und Steine,
und sein Geraschel weckt zum Sturm
des Leichenvolks Gebeine.
Ein Totentanz macht Schlußbilanz
und schickt dich in die Binsen
samt Kapital und Zinsen.
Das ist des Bürgers Alpdruck
er quält ihn in der Nacht
solange bis er irgendwann schweissgetränkt erwacht
des Bürgers Alpdruck verfolgt ihn jeden Tag
solange bis er irgendwann nicht mehr schlafen mag
Verzweifelt schießt die Bürgerwehr
das Volk zu Brei und Klumpen.
Ein Toter produziert nichts mehr,
und nichts langt nicht zum Pumpen.
Wo kein Kredit, da kein Profit.
Wo kein Profit, da enden
Weltlust und Dividenden.
Ein Totentanz macht Schlußbilanz
und schickt dich in die Binsen
samt Kapital und Zinsen.
Das ist des Bürgers Alpdruck
er quält ihn in der Nacht
solange bis er irgendwann schweissgetränkt erwacht
des Bürgers Alpdruck verfolgt ihn jeden Tag
solange bis er irgendwann nicht mehr schlafen mag
Der Käfer rennt. Der Bürger flennt.
In bangen Angstgedanken
fühlt er die Erde wanken.
Das ist des Bürgers Alpdruck
er quält ihn in der Nacht
solange bis er irgendwann schweissgetränkt erwacht
des Bürgers Alpdruck verfolgt ihn jeden Tag
solange bis er irgendwann nicht mehr schlafen mag
Slime was a German punk band formed in 1979 in Berlin. The original lineup consisted of Christian Mevs (vocals) and Dirk Jora (guitar), with other musicians joining the group over the years. Slime is considered one of the pioneers of hardcore punk in Germany, influencing numerous subsequent bands. Their sound was characterized by a fast tempo, political lyrics, and a strong energetic charge. Among their most representative songs are "Schweineherbst", "Punk Club" and "Alles ist Scheisse".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
