[Hooray!TheWorldEndsToday!]

[Verse 1: Maxim]
Clothing is against God, we wear fig leaves
Swinging on vines over the Heinrichplatz (Hey)
And the elders tell us about the house fight
At a barbecue in the ruins of the Deutsche Bank
Birds' nests in a broken neon sign
We warm ourselves up with a burning German flag
And if somebody's sleeping on a park bench
It's only 'cause a girl is leaning on his arm
Three hours of work a day, 'cause there's no need for more
Tonight we'll think up names for the stars (Stars)
Give thanks to that bomb ten years ago
And make love 'til the sun can see it
Remember when we carved into the desks at school
"Please Lord, forgive them not, for they know what they do" (Know what they do)
Underneath the pavement waits the beach sand
If not with rap, then with the shotgun

[Chorus: Henning May]
And we're singing in the fallout shelter
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
And we're singing in the fallout shelter
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
Upon the ruins, paradise

Verse 2: Tarek]
Grab your bow and arrow, let's hunt down a treat
There's no more prison, we grill on the window bars
Burnt out McDonald's speak of our heroic deeds
Ever since we chased Nestlé off the fields
Apples have tasted like apples and tomatoes like tomatoes
And we cook our food in soldiers' helmets
You want to smoke? Go pick something in the yard
But today's life can be handled sober
C'mon, let's go to the moss-covered
Capital halls for an office chair race
Our front doors don't need locks anymore
Money has become confetti and we can sleep better
For us, a gold bar's no different than a brick
The fire's dying down, throw another Bible in
The kids shudder when I tell them about the Pope
This life is so beautiful, who needs an afterlife?
(Who needs an afterlife? Who needs an afterlife?)

[Chorus: Henning May]
And we're singing in the fallout shelter
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
And we're singing in the fallout shelter
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
Upon the ruins, paradise[Verse 3: Nico]
The cows graze behind us, we toke up, play Tavla
Where the Potsdamer Platz used to be
When I wake up, I stroke your hair one more time
"Honey, I'm going to work, I'll be right back"
We wake up whenever we want, head out whenever we want
Look however we want, have sex however we want
And not like the church or pornos tell us to
Baby, the time with you was so wonderful
Yeah, now it's over, but our kids won't cry
Because we all raise them together
Do you remember when they tried to put out the big fire?
That feeling as our passports melted among the flames?
They really thought their bullshit would last forever
I show the little ones Monopoly, but they don't understand
"A hundred euro bill? What's that?"
"Why should I take something from you when we share everything?"

[Chorus: Henning May]
And we're singing in the fallout shelter
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
And we're singing in the fallout shelter
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
Upon the ruins, paradise
