You all talk so good,
you don't know how hard it is,
when you wake up one morning,
and are the president
You curse about us politicians,
do nothing but criticize us,
you don't know how hard it is,
to succesfully rule you people,
This wretched compromise,
and always publicity,
with all of your meetings,
you don't have time to take a shit!
be merely thankful, that you're not the president,
be completely happy, not to be president!
You're no longer a private person,
there are no more hobbys,
Everyone want something from you,
and everyone has their Lobby
And here a meeting with Bush,
and a visit to SONY,
and never just sweat pants,
always just Brioni
And while you're thinking over,
who got which letters,
and then theres this damn connection,
even with the East.
be merely thankful, that you're not the president,
be completely happy, not to be president!
Sometimes I get do fed up,
That I ask :
"Hey Gerd (gerhard Schroeder, former president, was president when this song was written)
Who are you actually doing all this for?
Is Germany even worth it?
And these damn jobless,
Did I maybe let them go?
and now they all want Jobs from me?
and help from all the empty coffers,
Be merely thankful, that your'e not the president
If i've learned ANYTHING,
I won't be around much longer
