Mensch - die toten Hosen lyric translation

Mensch // Human Being

You ask me what my name is, because I'm foreign to you
I let you ask anything of me, then you realize who I am
I have a lot of history and can disguise myself well

I am your best friend and your biggest enemy
I have a dagger and a kiss ready for you
I'll put a shackle and a scarf around your neck
I am good and I am bad, am love and hate
I am to be trusted and I lie, that's just how it goes
I can never be familiar with you, so thereupon I am familiar!

I am always searching, but I never know what for
Constantly on the run and incessantly hunting
I've discovered bravery and I've invented fear
I am a winner and a loser eternally in every struggle!

My name is HUMAN BEING, I know that you know me
I am you, you're me, I am a HUMAN BEING!

I talk of feelings with a mask over my face
Declare myself healthy, make myself sick
I want control of everything and to stifle slowness

My hands are full of blood and my heart made of gold
I invent laws and am certainly religious
I am my own king and the earth is my throne

I yearn for light and search for the moon
I live and I die in the same breath
I am a body and a spirit, elected and damned!

My name is HUMAN BEING, I know that you know me
I am you, you're me, I am a HUMAN BEING!
