lyrics

sandsäcke schleppen, alte omas retten
unsere soldaten sind echte helden
die bosnier vor den bösen bewahren
und in somalia den menschen helfen

die vergewaltigungsvideos waren doch nur gestellt
und über schläger in uniform ist jeder entsetzt
denn eigentlich ist doch allen klar -
gewehre sind nur zum blumen dranstecken da

---

Carrying sandbags, saving old grandmothers
Our soldiers are real heroes
Saving the bosnians from the bad guys
And helping the people in Somalia

The rape videotapes were just a pose
And everyone is appalled about thugs in uniform
Because in fact everyone knows
Guns were only made to put flowers on it

This song is from 1999. The government and most of the media labeled the military missions of the german army as “humanitarian and peacekeeping”. politics in germany have changed a lot since then, so now they can openly speak about being involved in a war, but it is still avoided to mention that this includes killing people.

Kellerasseln Erfurt, Germany

We exist since the end of 1995 in the same constellation:
Uwe - bass, Keller - guitar + voice, Steppl - drums.
We do basically what all bands are doing - playing gigs, releasing some records,
playing the kind of music we like and trying to write lyrics which have something new to tell.
