Tocotronic - Misfortune Must Be Fought Back

It is alarming but it's true
The wretchedness in which we year after year
In every situation find ourselves so to speak
Imprisoned for life

Is more and more and more and more
Is more and more and more and more
And more unbearable

Even if we sit together
In our favourite brewery-restaurant
We should be aware that
Every bite we tear at
And every mouthful we take
And shove down in a frenzy

Before we realize
That our dignity and pride
Have disappeared and
The everydaily life
Is poured out all the time from
Brimming barrels tapped
No longer gets us drunk
But the more aware that

Misfortune everywhere on earth must be fought back

Is more and more and more and more
Is more and more and more and more
and more unbearable
