Kann das weg?

Angetreten zum Erhalt der letzten Traditionen
Egal, wie scheisse es ist -
wenn es schon deine Großeltern so gemacht haben
muss es erhalten bleiben

Auf der anderen Seite
die Effektivierer und Rationalisierer
egal, wie nützlich es ist -
wenn es dem Profit im Weg steht
muss es zerstört werden

Aber ich scheiss auf mörderische Traditionen
genauso wie auf tödliche Effizienz
Nur leider ist mein Scheisshaufen
viel zu oft eher Schmiermittel
statt Sand im Getriebe

May I throw this away?

Defenders of the last traditions -
no matter how pointless
if your grandparents did it so
it has to be preserved

On the other side the effectors and streamliners -
no matter how useful
if it stands in the way of profit
it has to be destroyed

But I don’t give a shit about murderous traditions
as well as deadly efficiency
But too often my pile of shit
is just oil instead of sand
in the clockwork of the system

About the struggle between conservative tradition-keepers and neoliberal rationalizers and the refusal of both factions. And in the end it’s also about capitalisms astonishing ability to integrate and absorb even the most rebellious movements and counter-cultures.
