Alles neu

Ich verbrenn mein Studio, schnupfe die Asche wie Koks.
Ich erschlag meinen Goldfisch, vergrab ihn im Hof.
Ich jag meine Bude hoch, alles was ich hab lass ich los.
Mein altes Leben, schmeckt wie 'n labriger Toast.
Brat mir ein Pracht-Steak, Peter kocht jetzt feinstes Fleisch.
Bin das Update, Peter Fox 1.1.
Ich will abshaken, feiern, doch mein Teich ist zu klein.
Mir wächst 'ne neue reihe Beißer wie bei 'nem weissen Hai.

Gewachst , gedopet , poliert, Nagelneue Zähne.
Ich bin euphorisiert, und habe teure Pläne.
Ich kaufe mir Baumaschinen, Bagger und Walzen und Kräne.
Stürze mich auf Berlin und drück auf die Sirene.
Ich baue schöne Boxentürme, Bässe massieren eure Seele.
Ich bin die Abrissbirne für die d-d-d-deutsche Szene.

Hey, alles glänzt, so schön neu.
Hey, wenn's dir nicht gefällt, mach neu.
Die Welt mit Staub bedeckt, doch ich will sehn wo's hingeht
Steig auf den Berg aus Dreck, weil oben frischer Wind weht.
Hey, alles glänzt, so schön neu.

Ich hab meine alten Sachen satt, und lass sie in 'nem Sack verroten.
Motte die Klamotten ein, und dann geh ich nackt shoppen.
Ich bin komplett renoviert, Bräute haben was zu glotzen.
Kerngesund, durchtrainiert, Weltmeister im Schach und Boxen.
Nur noch konkret reden, gib mir ein ja oder nein.
Schluss mit Larifari, ich lass all die alten Faxen sein.
Sollt' ich je wieder kiffen, hau ich mir 'ne Axt ins Bein.
Ich will nie mehr Lügen, ich will jeden Satz auch so meinen.

Mir platzt der Kopf, alles muss ich verändern.
Ich such den Knopf, treffe die mächtigen Männer.
Zwing das Land zum Glück, kaufe Banken und Sender.
Alles spielt verrückt, zitternde Schafe und Lämmer.
Ich seh besser aus als Bono, und bin' n Mann des Volkes.
Bereit die Welt zu retten, auch wenn das vielleicht zu viel gewollt ist.

Hier ist die Luft verbraucht, das Atmen fällt mir schwer.
Bye Bye ich muss hier raus, die Wände kommen näher.

I burn my studio, snort the ashes like coke
I beat my gold fish to death, bury it in the yard
I blow up my pad, let everything I got go
My old life tastes like a watery toast
Fry myself a magnificent steak, Peter is cooking delicate meat now
I'm the update "Peter Fox 1.1"
I want to shake around, party, but my pond is too small
Grow a new row of teeth like the white shark
Waxed, doped, polished, brand-new teeth
I'm euphorized and have expensive plans
I buy myself building machines, excavators and rollers and cranes
Pounce myself on Berlin, push the siren

I build nice loudspeaker towers, bass massages your souls
I'm the wrecking ball for the G-G-G-German scene

Hey, everything's shining... so brand-new
Hey, if you don't like it, remake it
The world covered with dust, but I want to know where we go
Climb on the mountain from dirt because up there is a brish wind
Hey, everything's shining... so brand-new

I'm tired of my old togs, and leave them to rot in a bag
Mothball the clothes, and go shopping naked
I'm fully renovated, chicks have something to stare on
Hale and hearty, thoroughly fit, world champion in chess and boxing
Only speaking concretely now, give me a yes or a no
No more Mr. nice guy, stop doing all the old grimaces
If I smoke pot, I'll cut my leg with an axe
I don't want to lie ever again, want to mean every sentence like I mean
My head is bursting, everything has to change
I'm looking for the button, meet the powerful men
Constrain the country to its luck, buy banks and stations
Everything goes haywire, shaking sheep and lambs

I'm better-looking than Bono and I'm the man of the people
Ready to save the world, even if it's maybe too much
