Leave it

I step into the forest und leave what's falling out of my pants
A pack of BiFi, batteries and plutonium
Whether it's expensive Kobe beef or a newborn child
What has once touched the ground is worthless and stinks
I better leave it, rather having new products than storing the old ones
But now I have to wear a breathing mask while shopping
I rather lay in the grass, freshens the spirit, freshens the lung
Until I realize that I'm laying in soaked cigarette butts
Can't you hear the bird singing, he chirps eulogies
To the lakes in which even fishes are swimming on the surface
Can't you hear the beautiful seagull above the oil factory?
I would like to understand what it's saying "Kill me!"
 
If the porcelain drops into the sand and gets dirty
Leave it, leave it
If the roasted panda doesn't taste good
Leave it, leave it
This morning I was awakened by a tank
Leave it, leave it, leave it
Underneath it there was a man who reached out his hand to us
But we don't have any space to offer, leave it
 
With those cheap things it's not necessary to drag my own stuff along
After my picnic with fryers and massage chairs
You can find me through the traces of plastic bags
They lead to Mediamarkt*, I buy tomorrow's trash
And leave it because I rather go to the Beach Hotel
Look, Jutta, our old microwave is floating there
Although we usually like the holiday trip
You shouldn't trink the tap water over here
The locals smile, their hands are on their rips
They cough without end and shiver, different countries different customs
Even though the environment is suffering
I desperately need new rubber boots because the dikes are breaking
 
If the porcelain drops into the sand and gets dirty
Leave it, leave it
If the roasted panda doesn't taste good
Leave it, leave it
This morning I was awakened by a tank
Leave it, leave it, leave it
Underneath there was a man who reached out his hand to us
But we don't have any space to offer, leave it
Leave it
Leave it
 
Like a boom boom boom boomerang
**I shout into the forest but forget that it can shout too
Like a boom boom boom boomerang
I like to throw away but I was never good at catching
Like a boom boom boom boomerang
I shout into the forest but forget that it can shout too
Like a boom boom boom boomerang
I like to throw away but I was never good at catching
Like a boomerang
 
If the porcelain drops into the sand and gets dirty
Leave it, leave it
If the roasted panda doesn't taste good
Leave it, leave it
This morning I was awakened by a tank
Leave it, leave it, leave it
Underneath there was a man who reached out his hand to us
But we don't have any space to offer, leave it

I think it would be helpful to include that the bit about the forest shouting back is a German idiom, the English equivalent of which is "we reap what we sow."
