[Verse 1: Maxim]
Clothing is against God, we wear fig leaves
Swing on vines over Heinrichplatz (Hey)
And the old guys tell us about the house fights
At a barbecue in the ruins of the Deutsche Bank
Birds' nests in broken neon signs
We warm ourselves by a burning German flag
And if somebody sleeps on a park bench
It's only because a girl is leaning on his arm
Three hours of work a day, because we don't need more
Tonight we'll think up names for the stars (stars)
Give thanks for the bombs 10 years ago
And make love until the sun can see it
Remember when we carved in the tables at school
"Please Lord, don't forgive them, for they know what they do
(Know what they do)"
Under the cobblestones, the sandy beach waits
If not with rap, then with a shotgun

[Chorus: Henning May]
And we sing in the fallout shelter:
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
And we sing in the fallout shelter:
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
Paradise, on top of its ruins
[Verse 2: Tarek]
Grab your bow and arrows, we'll go hunting for a treat
Prison's gone now, we grill on the bars of cell windows
Burned-out McDonald's witness our heroic deeds
Since we chased Nestlé from the fields
Apples taste like apples and tomatoes like tomatoes
And we cook our food in soldiers' helmets
You want to smoke? Let's go pick some in the yard
But this life of ours today, you can deal with sober
C'mon, let's go to the moss-covered
Halls of parliament, no office chair competition
We don't need locks on the doors of our houses
We use money as confetti, we sleep better
A gold bar is the same for us as a brick
The fire's dying down, throw a bible in
The kids are grossed out, when I tell them about the Pope
This life is so beautiful, who needs an afterlife?
(Who needs an afterlife? Who needs an afterlife?)

[Chorus: Henning May]
And we sing in the fallout shelter:
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
And we sing in the fallout shelter:
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
Paradise, on top of its ruins
[Verse 3: Nico]
The cows graze behind us, we toke up, play Tabla
Where the Potsdamer Platz used to be
When I wake up I stoke your hair
"Honey, I'm going to work, I'll be right back."
We wake up when we want, head out when we want
Look how we want, have sex how we want
And not like the church or the pornos tell us to
Baby, the time with you was so wonderful
Now it's over, but our kids don't cry
Because we all bring them up together
Do you remember, how they wanted to put out the big fire?
That feeling, as the flames melted our passports?
They thought their bullshit would last forever
I show the little ones Monopoly, but hey don't understand it
"A hundred-euro bill? What's that for?"
"Why should I take something from you, when we share everything?"

[Chorus: Henning May]
And we sing in the fallout shelter:
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
And we sing in the fallout shelter:
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
"Hooray, this world is ending!"
Paradise, on top of its ruins
