I am free

[THE EGG]
What is happening to me?
What's going on?
A moment ago I was clutched by a hand
Now I'm weightless
 
Why was exactly I taken
Out of a cardboard box of six?
I'm floating light as a feather
I'm flying away
 
I'm an egg
And yet much more
I am allegorical
I am a metaphor
 
Am I symbol of unity?
Fragile republic
Or do I symbolize Germany
When flying through the air?
 
But one thing I know
Deep inside of me
My shell may be fragile
But I know what I am
 
I am free
Full of dreams, full of hope
I am free
To a golden future
I am free
 
So boundless
So full of courage
(?) shackles
Detached in flight
 
I see Germany united
And Europe will prosper
I see peace here on earth
People will be brothers
 
No more poverty and suffering
Never again injustice
Harmony and love
Now my time comes
 
I am free
Almost like a (?)
And now a new time begins
You only have to believe in yourself
We are free
 
I am free
 

We are one

[JENS]
I protect our country
 
[MAIK]
I am part of the resistance
 
[JENS]
I preserve the nation
 
[MAIK]
And I want progression
 
[JENS]
Oh, so you're left-wing!
 
[MAIK]
Yes, and you're a bit right-wing!
 
[JENS]
True that.
 
The wall that separates us
Is now a pile of debris
 
[MAIK]
Will there be a happy ending now?
Or will everything fall apart?
I'll lead the way, give me your hand
 
[JENS]
I'm protecting our country
I'll always stand by you
 
[MAIK]
At last I can see it clearly
 
[JENS]
I want to go with you
 
[MAIK]
Whether forward or (?)
 
[JENS]
I'll go anywhere with you
 
[BOTH]
Our love is so strong
 
We are one
Living in unity
We are free
We'll get ready to fly
 
Let us overcome walls
That separate and divide us
No borders, no fences
Our hearts are united
 
An egg can be a bridge
 
[MAIK]
Jens, you protect my land
 
[JENS]
Maik
 
[MAIK]
Spelled with a-i!
 
[JENS]
You take my fate into your hands
 
[MAIK]
And even though it seems impossible
 
[JENS]
And even though it seems impossible
 
[BOTH]
We'll go our way united
 

Throw an egg

[CHICKEN]
In a country that's divided and split in two
Lives a nation disharmony and strife
No, no, no
Germany, finally free yourself
Throw an...
 
Oops! An egg! Yes exactly, there is a simple solution to all problems. Everyone should have an egg! Eggs, eggs for each of you! Maik, Jens, Dr. Kohl, the whole Juso gang! Everybody needs eggs! There's an egg at the end of the tunnel!
 
If nothing is progressing
Then throw an egg
If there's no way out
Then throw an egg
If you want to revolt against injustice
 
[EVERYONE]
Throw an egg (3x)
 
[MAIK]
If you want to change something
That cannot be changed
 
[JENS]
If you want to flee from restraints
If your life is cold and dull
 
[MAIK]
Just say no!
 
[JENS]
Fight back against the state!
 
[MAIK]
Get out of your comfort zone and choose disobedience over obedience!
 
[JENS]
Think out of the box!
 
[MAIK]
Do something crazy!
 
[EVERYONE]
Throw an egg (6x)
 
[CHICKEN]
And on Sundays, throw two!
 
[EVERYONE]
Throw an egg (2x)
 
???
From east to west
Have courage to make a mess
 
Throw an egg (3x)
 
[THE EGG]
I will destroy what destroys me!
 
[CHICKEN]
Egg caramba!
 
[JENS]
If your boss is in the wrong
Throw an egg
 
[CHICKEN]
If you don't want unity
Throw an egg
 
[HELMUT KOHL]
If you need money for your party
 
[EVERYONE]
Throw an egg (3x)
 
[JUSOS]
If you want to feel something
If you want to destroy the system
 
[ZOTTEL]
If you're somehow a part of it too
 
[EVERYONE]
Feel free
Count to three
Throw an egg
 
Throw an egg (5x)
 
[CHICKEN]
???
 
[EVERYONE]
Throw an egg (3x)
 
Sometimes things have to break in order to heal
Sometimes the walls aren't as thick as they appear
Throw the first domino
 
[JENS & HELMUT KOHL]
Throw an egg
 
[ALL]
An egg can be a bridge
 

When You're Near To Me

(Song starts at 0:33)
 
That got you by surprise, you sons of bitches, I know
Here comes the pale son of a policeman1
Who'd love to be a rapper
Well-known artists reach position 34 in the charts with cat lyrics
When I'm spitting rhymes, it's an affair of state!
I'm moving along on the edge between
Being fine and being in the hospital2
But for the next couple of lines
Or as they say 'bars'
I'm only here for that guy over there
 
You, Diggi-Dende
Always reliably leftist on stage
Prosecco fresh
You're moving in from the right with a vengeance
You're getting everything together
Because everything belongs together3
And people talking smack about you
Never bothered you
 
Now it's perfect
I mean: present perfect
I'm softly rapping
Farewell4, I know it's hard
This is just for you, plug your in-ears in
An intimate confessional song5
From Böhmermann to Dendemann
 
Ain't no escaping this, Diggedi
That's how it is in my biz
For you're always the first across the finish line
In Grand Aphorismo6
Jochenwings Smart Rate from Wickede to Mainz7
Fly, you silly bird
The sky's the limit - and it's all yours anyway!
 
[Chorus]
When you're close to me
This hope is everything
And only you can save the day
Just because you're near
 
Hannah from costume department said
It costs probably more than a 1,000 EUR to buy online
Your innate bulletproof clean slate8
No, wet hand on my big heart9:
You're simply the best!
Never in god mode10, always preaching
Never digge-didactical but always teaching
 
An ironic man gets sentimental
When he admits
He's missing you already
Everything's coming to a Dende, eventually
Godspeed and best of luck
And if you're in need of a little cash
Just come back
 
And if you're lying in bed all depressed
And think: 'Oh well!'
Just call Janni, he's got lots of cement7
No matter how deep the hole
And always a handful of coal for your grill
Now go and make that record
We're waiting, jerk!
