lyrics

Precise like a clockwork
smooth and fast like a trip on the autobahn
you just did your job building tanks
now you're building cars

you exported world wars
now you export the technology
to fight wars in the backyards
with quality weapons made in Germany

chorus:
You kill with precision
that's a German tradition

In time like a railroad train
Awake the myths about a history forgotten
words are different, the ideas are the same
the spirit's not dead, it just smells rotten

You keep your budget tight
tight like your leather pants
someone asks for money and you start a fight
not a cent into the beggars hand

Chorus

in step like a Wiener Waltz
you want your country pure like your beer
building up fences and building up walls
one day – I hope – this will all disappear
