Lyrics
Wer war das, der aus dem Fenster fiel?
Sprang er selbst oder zwang man ihn?
Er war so einer, der dem Volk nicht gefiel
Und dem keine andre Lösung mehr schien
Keiner hat den Brief gelesen
Den er schrieb, bevor er sprang
Er hatte nie versucht, sich auszuschließen
Sondern reinzukommen — sein Leben lang!
(Die) Spiele, die man lernen muß, hat er nie gelernt
Was er auch tat, es war verkehrt
(Er) hatte nie der Gesellschaft seinen Rücken zugedreht
Doch sie hatte ihm ihren zugekehrt
Keiner hat den Brief gelesen
Den er schrieb, bevor er sprang
Er hatte nie versucht, sich auszuschließen
Sondern reinzukommen — sein Leben lang!
Er war krank (3mal)
Er war krank — das war allen klar!
Etikette tötet! (4mal)
Für ihn war’s unmöglich, Kontakt zu finden
Denn wenn er weinte oder lachte
Zur falschen Zeit, wurde er verachtet
Ein Idiot, mit dem man Späße machte
Keiner hat den Brief gelesen
Den er schrieb, bevor er sprang
Er hatte nie versucht, sich auszuschließen
Sondern reinzukommen — sein Leben lang!
Er war krank (3mal)
Er war krank — das war allen klar!
Etikette tötet! (4mal)
Etikette tötet! (4mal)
Lyrics translation
Who was it that fell out of the window?
Did he jump or was he forced?
He was one of those who did not please the people
And which no other solution seemed
Nobody read the letter
He wrote before he jumped
He had never tried to exclude
But to come in — all his life!
(The) games you have to learn, he never learned
Whatever he did, it was wrong
(He) had never turned his back on society
But she had turned to him her
Nobody read the letter
He wrote before he jumped
He had never tried to exclude
But to come in — all his life!
He was sick (3 times)
He was sick — that was clear to everyone!
Etiquette kills! (4 times)
It was impossible for him to find contact
Because when he cried or laughed
At the wrong time, he was despised
An Idiot with whom one made jokes
Nobody read the letter
He wrote before he jumped
He had never tried to exclude
But to come in — all his life!
He was sick (3 times)
He was sick — that was clear to everyone!
Etiquette kills! (4 times)
Etiquette kills! (4 times)
