You say - it's your duty

You say - it's the law

You say - you'd like to help me

I say - I've heard it all before

Good for you - stupid fool

How could you - ever bend a rule?

You say - it's not your problem

You say - your hands are tied

Can't change - the regulations

I know - you never even tried

Good for you - stupid fool

How could you - ever bend a rule?

Nine to five - every single day

It's all black and white

And you never see a single shade of grey...

You are happy - got the amtssprache

Das gesetz, das gesetz - Amtsgeschwatz

You say - I got the sentence

Tough luck - in the "people's name"

You say - you're really sorry

I only got myself to blame

Good for you - stupid fool

How could you - ever bend a rule?

You say - I'm just a number

You tell - me to stand in line

I say - you're just an asshole

Earning money to waste my time

Good for you - stupid fool

How could you - ever bend a rule?

You are happy - got the amtsprache

Das gesetz, das gesetz amtsgeschwatz
