Bahnhof Zoo
Randy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the girls in class they're getting bored too.
All around them they see things they can't afford.
And things they can't afford to do.
Mommy don't like for them to stay out all night.
Daddy don't care he watch sports and drinks beer.
They rather be like the miserable girl from bahnhof zoo.
Wir kinder wom bahnhof zoo.
The boys on the corner say they will never grow up.
The girls in class they have no fun.
Got time to kill, feeling to fill and things to shop.
H and M cheap cigarettes and bubblegum.
Mommy don't know where the allowances goes.
Daddy's jerk he's either drunk or at work.
The kids know what to do not to end up just like you.
They rather be like the miserable girl from bahnhof zoo.
Wir kinder wom bahnhof zoo.
And it goes on and on..
The lyrics of Randy's song "Bahnhof Zoo" provide a social commentary on the disillusionment of young people with the world around them. The "boys on the corner" and "girls in class" referenced in the song are bored and disenchanted with their lives, feeling trapped by the constraints of their economic situations. The material possessions they yearn for, such as clothes and cigarettes, are out of reach due to their limited incomes. The frustration at their current situation is juxtaposed with the mention of the infamous Bahnhof Zoo in Berlin, a notorious area characterized by drug abuse and prostitution. The song suggests that these young people would rather be like the "miserable girl from Bahnhof Zoo" than remain in their current, uninspiring lives.
Furthermore, the song highlights the disconnect between generations. The parents of these young people are depicted as indifferent to their children's struggles, with the mother disapproving of their nighttime activities and the father retreating to sports and alcohol. The children are aware of their parents' shortcomings and are determined not to become like them, instead seeking a different path for themselves. The song is a call to action for young people to break the cycle of apathy and dissatisfaction and to strive for something more.
