Hand in Hand
Papa Roach vs. Kraftklub Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Der Schlagstock schlägt im Takt der Musik
Der Asphalt bebt, eine Stadt im Krieg
Monotonie, Massenhysterie
Ein Funke genügt und der Brandsatz fliegt
Polizisten stehen im Regen
Weiß nicht worum es geht, doch bin dagegen
Gegen das System, nehme ich mal an
Ich bin eigentlich nur einem Mädchen hinterher gerannt

Hand in Hand, Der Einsatztrupp treibt uns zusammen
Hand in Hand, Die verdammte Stadt steckt mein Herz in Brand

Rauch in meinen Augen, Gas in meiner Nase
Die Jungs in blau jagen uns, wie Hasen auf der Straße
Die Tage sind schwarz, die Nächte sind hell
Eine schlechte Stadt, eine schlechte Welt

Hand in Hand
Ein Leben lang gemeinsam gegen die Wand

Sie und ich für immer, Ich steh hinter ihr
Keinen blassen Schimmer gegen was wir demonstrieren
Macht nix, Fakt ist, schon aus Prinzip
Sehe ich das alles praktisch, genauso wie sie

Verkohltes Papier, rauchende Tonnen
Parolen verschmiert auf grauem Beton
Die ganzen Demonstranten verwüsten den Kiez
Geht mich nix an denn ich bin verliebt

Hand in Hand, der Einsatztrupp treibt uns zusammen
Hand in Hand, die verdammte Stadt steckt mein Herz in Brand
Hand in Hand, Farbbomben platzen an der Häuserwand
Hand in Hand, im Sixpack Richtung Sonnenuntergang

Hand in Hand, der Einsatztrupp treibt uns zusammen
Hand in Hand, die verdammte Stadt steckt mein Herz in Brand




Hand in Hand, Farbbomben platzen an der Häuserwand
Hand in Hand, im Sixpack Richtung Sonnenuntergang
