The lyrics of Dritte Wahl's song Mainzer Straße describe a scene of social unrest and government oppression. The mentions of "Morgengrauen" (dawn), "Uniformen" (uniforms), "barrikaden" (barricades), and "Wasserwerfer" (water cannon) allude to a clash between protesters and law enforcement. The chorus, "Keine Chance, die Wut zu unterdrücken / Keine Chance, der Wahrheit zu entfliehen" translates to "No chance to suppress the anger / No chance to escape the truth," acknowledging that the cause for the protest may be just, and the authorities are attempting to silence it with force. Additionally, the lyrics criticize the media, labeling it as "Propaganda" and "Lügenpresse" (lying press), implying that the mainstream news is misinforming the public and siding with the government.

Als ich ein Kind war, hatten wir über mehrere Jahre das Album im CD Fach von unserem Auto und immer wenn nichts gutes im Radio lief, haben wir das Album gehört. Ich habe much heute wieder an das Lied erinnert und ich finde es super!
