Es war 2004 als ich davon gehört hatte
Nagelbomben-Anschlag in der Keupstraße
Man, ich schwör, es hatte mich verdammt gestört
Eine Bombe ist geplatzt vor meinem Stammfriseur?
Vor meinen Landsleuten? Das tat mir sehr weh
Sowas kennt man eigentlich nur aus dem Fernsehen
Also fahr ich hin, die ganze Straße war dahin
Dabei handelts sich um eines unserer Wahrzeichen
Ich dachte sowas passiert nicht bei uns
Nicht mal in Köln, die armen Leute man
Das hätte auch ich sein können
Und dann gingen die Gerüchte los
Wirklich unfassbar, angeblich war's die türkische Mafia
Eine Woche später als sie glaubten es waren Kurden
Ihr seht viele Theorien, die durch den Raum geworfen wurden
Dann hieß es, der Friseur sei in die Scheiße verwickelt
Er wäre kriminell und die Polizei, sie ermittelt
Dass man ihn plus Familie wie Verbreche verhörte
War dann vorerst das letzte, was man hörte
Ein Benefizkonzert, E-K-O trat da auf
Und in Cologne nahm dann alles ein gewohnten Lauf
Und es brennt in unseren Herzen
Schweigen ist wie Schmerzen
Und die hören niemals auf
Schrei es ganz laut raus
Lass dir nix erzählen
Worte können quälen
Stell dich diesem Leben
Wir werden alles Leben
Heute wissen wir alle, wer's gewesen ist
Was denen, die drunter litten leider aber wenig hilft
Wir wissen, es hätt auch verhindert werden können
Ich dachte, so was passiert überall, doch nicht bei uns in Köln
Weißt du, wie es ist, du denkst, du bist bei uns zu Hause hier
Und wegen deinem Aussehen will dich jemand aussortieren
Kann nicht beschreiben, wie krass ich enttäuscht war
Ich wusste nix davon, ich wusste nix davon
Ich dachte, ich wär Deutscher
Weißt du wie es ist? Dich lässt der Rechtsstaat im Stich
Du hast knapp überlebt und sie verdächtigen dich
Zehn Menschen tot als die Behörde scheinbar schlief
Irgendwie fies, dass man danch was von Dönermorden liest
Habt ihr mal dran gedacht, wie die Familien sich gefühlt haben
Als ihre Väter so früh starben?
Sie wollten Aufklärung, warteten geduldig ab
Es gab niemanden, der sich dafür entschuldigt hat
Diesen Menschen eine Stimme geben ist der Grund
Genau deshalb bring ich dieses Thema auf den Punkt
Es ist doch wunderbar, dass hier so viele Völker wohnen
Dat hier ist für die Keup, mee kölsche Straß
Und es brennt in unseren Herzen
Schweigen ist wie Schmerzen
Und die hören niemals auf
Schrei es ganz laut raus
Lass dir nix erzählen
Worte können quälen
Stell dich diesem Leben
Wir werden alles Leben
Und es brennt, und es brennt, und es brennt, und es brennt
(Huuhuuuuh)
Schrei es ganz laut raus
Und es brennt in unseren Herzen
Schweigen ist wie Schmerzen
Und die hören niemals auf
Schrei es ganz laut raus
Lass dir nix erzählen
Worte können quälen
Stell dich diesem Leben
Wir werden alles Leben
