Track notes

Heute trinken wir richtig

Literally "Today we drink right", but means "Today we drink a lot". A song about extreme alcohol consumpting.

Das Signum des Verrats

"The sign of betrayal" means the punk and skinhead scene, which drifted into left-wing (punks) and right-wing (skinheads) circles and so betrayed their own basic idea.

Stunde des Siegers

"The hour of victor" means, that everyone will have the chance so strike back and to change their life.

Was kann ich denn dafür

"What can I do for it, that we're so beautiful" - In this song the band glorifies itself.

Ein Mensch wie Du und ich

"A human like you and me" A song about perverts

Keiner wusste, wie's geschah

"Nobody knew how it happened" About the band and it's arising celebrity in the scenes.

Hässlich, brutal und gewalttätig

"We wear all swastikas / Skinheads have only violence in sense. / Is it that you want to hear / that we're brainless fighters?" The song describes that skinheads are not neonazis, and the refrain "We are ugly, brutally and violating" gives the song an ironic note.

Nennt mich Gott

"Call me God"

7 Tage ohne Sünde

"7 days without sin" meaning seven days without sex, because the meant person has a sexually transmitted infection.

Hass

"Hate" - An anti-political song. "Workless youths are today normal, the rich more richer, all other is the same"
