Small town boy

You are an evil, little victim
You feel cool in the gang
Because boys with baggypants and basecap
are never ever gay.
In your ghetto you're merciless and homophobic,
But underneath you secretly wear
Doppelripp of Wolfgang Joop
You are a gangsterboss- gangsterboss
And he (is) a small town boy- small town boy.
You are a tough man, that's why you never cry.
(Whenever) you see a small town boy, your knees shake.
 
Just run away from yourself, turn away.
Just run away from yourself, turn away.
Just run away from yourself.
 
You are a big, strong rocker,
Tattooed, with long hair.
And that there are gays among rockers
Isn't true at all.
You're the toughest at Rock am Ring
And only eat raw animal.
And nobody knows, in your nightstand
There lies a picture of Udo Kier.
You are a rockerboss - rockerboss.
And he (is) a small town boy - small town boy.
You're a tough man, that's why you never cry.
(whenever) you see a small town boy, your knees shake.
 
Just run away from yourself, turn away.
Just run away from yourself, turn away.
Just run away from yourself.
 
You are a strong (like a bear) goalkeeper
Only rarely let one in.
You're concentrating on the ball
Because what isn't allowed to be, can't be.
In front of your team, you're tough
You never cry in the shower.
But (whenever) you see a cute center-forward, your knees shake.
 
Just run away from yourself, turn away
Just run away from yourself, turn away
Just run away from yourself.
 
Just cry, tough man
Just scream, tough man
Just cry, tough man - just scream.

Doppelripp are basically "whitey-tighties" (it's a type of seam used pretty much only in that type of underwear, as best I can tell.), and Wolfgang Joop is a fashion designer, so that line is probably something like: You wear whitey-tighties from Wolfgang Joop.

Excellent suggestion Below_Average, and I'm sure that's what's meant!!
