Misfortune Must Be Fought Back - Tocotronic

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
