Panic

[Part 1: Keule]

Okay, at length and smoothly

Keule, motherfucker, half man, half dick

Demigod, no, wait! As if! I'm a jerk

Who takes on the Hulk for the last beer if he has to

Every time we go and record our parts

They all already know the song

Is gonna be crap anyway (crap anyway, crap anyway)

It's no good, 257's, there you go

Yo, when Selfmade [Records] signed us, the whole country was smirking

Disappointed and bewildered, we're rabid dogs

We can't rap but we got other skills:

Look, my penis glows in the dark

OK, hand me the insult, I'm-a add it to injury 1

Duck! When I'm swinging my club 2

The scene you knew is done for

Nothing but scorched earth and a couple of dripping wet chicks

[Hook]

Panic, panic - like there's a ghost right next to you

Everybody's running, running around in circles like animals

Honestly, honestly - y'all wanted to be here

We take it all apart - hostages and beer

Panic, panic - like there's a ghost right next to you

Everybody's running, running around in circles like animals

Honestly, honestly - y'all wanted to be here

Now it's every man for himself - damn, badam, badam

[Part 2: Mike]

Looks like he's found me, dumb little Shneezin

That wasn't hard to do, everybody can smell a rat

I don't feel like playing around, and that's an understatement

Dude, watch me smoke weed, don't have a bong but a filter

I'm covertly playing with myself, like my mother Siegfried

That's due to my genes, just like my weariness (*yawn*)

I love all things, just like those wussies from Greenpeace

Apes, hyenas, a gnu and my egg for breakfast

And Mike shares something with you, no, it's more like an extra life

You think that's mean, but your foster parents: begone!

Stay mum in Essen, I'm regularly having sex with everyone 'round there 3

Jesus can walk on water, I can hit the roof 4

Committed every misdemeanour, accidentally kicked someone down

Misbehave, for there are flaws in the weaving

It's dumb anyway, I battle you, you leave, I sit down

I'm hooked on pills due to all of these problems

[Hook]

[Part 3: Shneezin]

I'm a celebrity (g'day), get me out of here 5

Just coming back from my grandma where I was smoking Shore

Drugs, that's what's cooking

Drugs, drugs, until the buzz hits

Rohypnol and some booze 6

Afterwards I step into a church

Abuse a few priests

Vibrissae spliff

Look at the cleft lip, bitch

My battery's down and I wonder where's the charging cable

But slap my face

Until I rap sensible lines? Forget about it

Write a line about a Martian

Once... upon... a... time... there was a Martian - great line!

Fresh, this part burns (fire!)

It burns in German, don't get in my face

I got to practice singing for "The Voice of Germany" 7

There's Shneezin on blow, ey yo, do you know GZSZ? 8

I'm more evil than Joe and shoot you dead! 9

1. In the original, a pun with the German version of the idiom that literally means "pour salt into the wound"; literal translation of the line is "Hand me salt and I pour it into the wound".
2. Pun with the rapper's name "Keule" ("club", "mace").
3. Pun. "Essen" is the name of a city but also means "to eat". So an alternative meaning of the first part is "Don't talk while eating".
4. Pun. The German equivalent of "hit the roof" literally translates to "walk through the roof" which spoofs "walk on water".
5. Refers to the TV show "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here" (German "Ich bin ein Star, holt mich hier raus", colloq. "Dschungelcamp" ["jungle camp"]).
6. Rohypnol is a date rape drug.
7. A talent show where the judges don't see the candidates before casting their vote.
8. GZSZ ("Gute Zeiten, Schlechte Zeiten", i.e. "good times, bad times") is a popular daily soap in Germany.
9. Refers to Joe Gerner, one of the villains in GZSZ.
