Auf Der Flucht
I say what ¨C what ya say?
Westberlin,
Neunzehnhundertsechzig sieben
Erster Eindruck: Gr¨¹ne Minna,
Strassensperre gegen Spinner
Habt Ihr Bock auf 'ne Tracht Pr¨¹gel,
Wir bedienen Euch nicht ¨¹bel, aha
Ecke Joachimstaler Kuhdamm
Ein Exzess,
Wer das Gas als letzter riecht,
Hat als erster den Prozess;
Ganz Berlin ist eine Wolke,
Und man sieht sich wieder'mal
Auf der Flucht
Z¨¹rich, Limmatquai,
Neunzehnhundertachtzig zwei,
Alles ist in Ordnung,
Nichts an Platz,
Ein Ende hat's mit dem Rabatz
Gewonnen hat die Steuer,
Und am Seeufer kein Feuer, aha
Das Fazit aus f¨¹nfzehn Jahren
Die Kontrolle zu bewahren,
Edle Werte zu geniessen,
Sieht man wohin Gelder fliessen
Schmeisst die Rock-Rabauken raus
Und renoviert das Opernhaus, aha
Was die Ordnung anbelangt,
Hat sich alles Gott sei Dank,
Fast wie ganz von Selbst ergeben,
Denn die starke Hand siegt eben
Haelt die Maerchenwelt beisammen
Und die Raeuber sind gefangen, aha
Und f¨¹r die Zukunft sei gesagt,
Sicher kommt 'mal wer und fragt,
Was die Jungwaehler so denken
ueber Kraefte, die sie lenken,
Schwere Wolken, Donnerschlag
Und wer sieht sich da jetzt
Auf der Flucht,
Auf der Flucht!
