Udo Lindenberg No Future MTV Unplugged Lyrics English Translation
You say: “No Future”
Only three more years, then we will all die
You say the poisons are the real deal
And with this you want to gradually juggle yourself away
You are only 15, on your jacket it says: “No fun”
If there were nothing to change, don’t even start with anything anymore
You say, like Fukushima, the whole world is in ashes and rubble
And the train rushes towards the abyss
And the brakes are broken
The bad thing is, I can almost understand you
But I don’t want to go this way with you
You dropped all your weapons and gave up
And somehow stopped living
You say: “No Future”
You always laugh at the same jokes
How, still go out on the street? You wonder why
There is nothing to change, why do it?
You say, as in Senghei, the whole world is in ashes and rubble
You’ve had enough of everything, it’s all a scam anyway
What else to believe in, everything is broken here
The bad thing is, I can understand you
Just can’t walk the path together with you
Because in all the misery I saw something
I saw what people move with each other
But it seems like it needs the big bang first
We mean we’re still flying, even though we’re falling
But falling only feels like flying
When we wake up before we hit the ground
We run in thoughts and where do we run to
We run in circles, because we run without meaning
In broad daylight and we run in the job
Run into the wall, because we run without a head
We run in thoughts and where do we run to
We run in circles, because we only run blindly
Keep running, we run without meaning
Tell me, where are we running to?
We run, run, run, run
We run, run, run, run
We run, run, run, run
We run, run, run, run
Tell me, where are we running to?
We run, run, run, run
We run, run, run, run
We run, run, run, run
Running, without a head
When my hope would be full at the end’
Then there would be nothing for me to sing anymore
Because then what else are such songs and thoughts
When the spaceship Earth is controlled by a few sick
By some crazy kamikaze pilots
Yes, are we all such idiots
In vain all the books of poets and philosophers
And the crooks still rule us
We run and we run and where do we run to
We run in circles, because we run without meaning
In broad daylight and we run in the job
Run into the wall, because we run without a head
We run and we run and where do we run to
We run in circles, because we only run blindly
Keep running, we run without meaning
Tell me, where are we running to?
We run, run, run, run
We run, run, run, run
We run, run, run, run
Tell me, where are we running to?
We run, run, run, run
We run, run, run, run
We run, run, run, run
We run, run
Tell me, where are we running to?
The bad thing is, I can almost understand you
But I don’t want to go this way with you
You dropped all your weapons and gave up
And somehow stopped living
