Großstadt - Söhne Mannheims

Die Reklame leuchtet glitzernd am Firmament

Die Markennamen sind das Einzige, was ich hier kenn

Die Gesichter völlig ausdruckslos und fremd

Willkommen in der Großstadt

In der «Friss Scheiße oder stirb"-Stadt

Willkommen in der Großstadt

In der «Friss Scheiße oder stirb"-Stadt

Jeder läuft an dir vorbei ohne dich wahrzunehmn

Unsichtbare Seelen machen es schwer, klar zu sehn

Jeder ist jedem egal, es ist hart zu bestehn

Wie ein Lauffeuer brennst du alles nieder

Sogar Säulen aus Granit

Aus deiner Flamme entstehn neue Lieder

Du warst zu Asche verdammt

Zum Glück gepflegt

Es ist dein Puls, der durch mein Herz schlägt

Willkommen in der Großstadt

In der «Friss Scheiße oder stirb"-Stadt

Keine Farben, alles wirkt so wie ausradiert

Jegliche Lebensfreude wird hier sofort absorbiert

Es intressiert hier keinen, ob du morgen noch existierst

Walking through the city is pretty right the neonlights

But below all there‘s beauty, there’s something that really bites

You can make it, if you try or it can break your dreams

I know you‘ve seen it in magazines and movie scenes

Walking through the city, your reality

You can make it out a king or a casualty

Fast cars, pretty girls, making money in this material world

Think fast — or get lost

Walking through the city everything here in heart

Du bist so schwermütig

Und hochintressant

Änderst täglich dein Profil

Deshalb hab ich dich gestern nicht erkannt

Den Mantel abgetragen

Doch dein Anzug glänzt

Zu Asche verdammt

Zum Glück gepflegt

Du bist mein Herz, in dem dein Puls schlägt

Willkommen in der Großstadt

In der «Friss Scheiße oder stirb"-Stadt

Willkommen in der Großstadt

Survival of he fittest, that‘s what it is

Out here you gotta use your mind

You gotta be prepared to survive

Because you never know

What’s waiting to take you out

Yeah, welcome to the city be called earth

This is gonna be your home from now on

You’re ready?

The advertisement shines glittering in the firmament

The brand names are the only thing I know here

The faces completely expressionless and strange

Welcome to the big city

In the "take shit or die" city

Welcome to the big city

In the "take shit or die" city

Everyone walks past you without noticing you

Invisible souls make it difficult to see clearly

Everyone doesn't matter to anyone, it's hard to survive

Like wildfire you burn everything down

Even granite pillars

From your flame new songs arise

You were condemned to ashes

Luckily maintained

It's your pulse beating through my heart

Welcome to the big city

In the "take shit or die" city

No colors, everything seems erased

Any joie de vivre is immediately absorbed here

No one here is interested in whether you will still exist tomorrow

Walking through the city is pretty right the neon lights

But below all there's beauty, there's something that really bites

You can make it, if you try or it can break your dreams

I know you've seen it in magazines and movie scenes

Walking through the city, your reality

You can make it out a king or a casualty

Fast cars, pretty girls, making money in this material world

Think fast — or get lost

Walking through the city everything here in heart

You are so melancholic

And very interesting

Change your profile daily

That's why I didn't recognize you yesterday

Removed the coat

But your suit shines

Condemned to ashes

Luckily maintained

You are my heart where your pulse beats

Welcome to the big city

In the "take shit or die" city

Welcome to the big city

Survival of he fittest, that's what it is

Out here you gotta use your mind

You gotta be prepared to survive

Because you never know

What's waiting to take you out

Yeah, welcome to the city be called earth

This is gonna be your home from now on

You're ready?
