Текст песни: Ich Erinnere Mich An Die Weimarer Republik + перевод

Pirate Jenny she got her revenge

Hey boys hats off to her

Sally Bowles she got her man

And he got really hurt

Me and my friends had some good ideas

But I swear that town got so damn weird

I got out alive in '35

I don’t think I’ll ever go back

But I remember…

Pirate Jenny let me off the hook

For one drink I bought for her

And Sally Bowles used to

Look at me and sigh

«If you weren’t so poor…»

It ain’t no thing about the promise ring

And socialists are so boring

Just a bunch of bullies

That I can’t stand

They got elected into office by… well, you

Pirate Jenny she bought the bar

Now everybody works for her

And Sally Bowles «Mein Herr» bit took off

And she’s a star

But the Bully Boys start sitting up in the front

And the doorman’s taking tips

And suggestions

I’m getting in fights

In the places I used to play

It’s like walking through a mine field every day

«I'm a fag, I’m a Jew, how do you do?

That’s Mister Anarchist to you

You think your scene’s dead?

Well mine got killed

By some dimwit’s Triumph of the Will

From the all-ages shows

To the full wet bars

To the front line squats of the culture wars

I’m not gonna hit you with the dogma

Or the lecturing

This is a purely personal thing.»

You see, Pirate Jenny

Didn’t have no friends when those bulls

They came for her

And Sally Bowle’s man

He got pushed up against the wall

Now every time I see a Swiss bank I spit

You say «resist control»?

Well, I mean it

Cause it was come as you are

In the cattle cars

And not a damn thing you can do about it

'Cept remember!
