Translation
Everyone wants to go to heaven, but no-one wants to die.
'Cause we want what we want, and we want it now
and if we see an opportunity to take, then it doesn't matter how
'Cause we're wilder than animals when it comes to taking
and if someone's in my way, well then there'll be a big commotion
Nothing is sacred, 'cause we take what we want
If we can earn on a train, then we'll jump right on
I mean, why compromise, why budge one inch?
Just because someone else did - should I do the same?
I mean, I want to be just as well off as the rich are
and if they're ruthless, I'll be the same
but what they don't know, is that I don't have anything to lose
so my concerns can never be (as) big (as theirs)
Everybody wants to go to heaven, but few wants to die
We want to collect the price, but don't sow any seeds
We want our piece of the cake and we want to eat it too
People want to take, but are reluctant to give
And I will do what I do, and I will do it well
and I'll continue, until somebody comes and steals my spot
'
cause who decides wrong or right when morality is dead
and people are killing each-other for their daily bread
The state is backing away, the companies are taking over
and they talk the talk, but give us poor wages
so much crap you'd think millions of stomachs are empty
so they force us to swim in an ocean full of lies
Truth is now just a memory
for everything we add, something disappears
Yes, this ladies and gentlemen, is what we are
but I hear the old men on TV say that they want peace
Everybody wants to go to heaven, but few wants to die
We want to collect the price, but don't sow any seeds
We want our piece of the cake and we want to eat it too
People want to take, but are reluctant to give
And I will, spit epistles as if it
was my last day and I knew about it
maybe I'll find the answers in the last round
Have lost so many choices that it's alarming
the list is as long as the way there, and more
whatever the cost, it's probably expencive
I've thought about it, but most of the time, not carefully
(as) the wrong deep-dives tests you psychologically
We must pay for everything that is important
that's the law, we can't escape from it
I see what I see, and I don't see anything else
and what I see when I look, makes me really infuriated
we are going somewhere and I don't know where
hope we can figure it out while the planet is left
Stuff, things, items, do we have to have it all?
but there are wounds in their hearts, which really torment us
I mean, the risks are many, but we have to take them
'Cause the suffering will get even bigger without any capital
Consequences doesn't matter to me
the only help I can get, comes from within
and you can ask whoever you want, even those who are friendly
but no one here can afford to help strangers
so the result is a downward spiral
so we do a "mano-a-mano" until only one is left
Everybody wants to go to heaven, but few wants to die
We want to collect the price, but don't sow any seeds
We want our piece of the cake and we want to eat it too
People want to take, but are reluctant to give
