Lieber staat, ich fuehle mich so rundum wohl in dir
lieber staat, es weht ein wind von freiheit hier
du erklaerst mir immer wieder, was erlaubt ist und was nicht
lenkst mein leben jeden tag und bist furchtbar fuersorglich
ach, was waer ich ohne dich
danke, dass du mich regierst
danke, dass du mich regierst
und dass du mich nicht ignorierst
lieber staat, gut, dass du weisst, was richtig fuer mich ist
lieber staat, schoen, dass du so ehrlich bist
du willst immer nur mein bestes und du gibst mir zu verstehn
wenn mir irgendwas nicht passt, steht mir frei, hier weg zu gehn
danke, dass du mich regierst
womit hab ich das verdient?
ich rutsche vor dir auf die knie
lieber staat, jetzt mal echt, du bist absolut gerecht
wer was andres sagt, macht dich nur schlecht
lieber staat, eigentlich waer ich gar nichts ohne dich
ich schrob dir dieses lied, du weisst bescheid
als zeichen meiner dankbarkeit
lieber staat, ich weiss, vor dir sind alle menschen gleich
lieber staat, ganz egal, ob arm, ob reich
manche sagen zwar, du waerest auf dem rechten auge blind
wobei die, die das behaupten alle terroristen sind
das lernt man bei uns schon als kind
danke, dass du mich regierst
danke, dass du mich regierst
und in serbien einmaschierst
lieber staat, du bist hart aber nur, wenn es was nuetzt
zum beispiel, wenn du uns vor auslaendern beschuetzt
lieber staat, da sind ganz klar arbeitsplatze in gefahr
es gibt viel zu viel ausland auf der welt
und die wolln eh nur unser geld
bevor ich es vergesse, eine kleine sache nur
ich danke dir fuer deine leitkultur
lieber staat, ich habs kapiert, es ist einfach herrlich hier
die massen stehen jubelnd hinter dir
lieber staat, ohne mist, bleib genau so, wie du bist
ich taetowier mir deine flagge ins gesicht
ich bin so schrecklich stolz auf dich
