"Ihr singt: „Alle für einen, einer für alle!“
Dann kommt einer und macht alle anderen alle
Am morgen geht's eilig und früh aus der Falle
Du singst: „Jetzt bin ich der Eine und ihr andern seid alle!“"
I think those 3 pieces of text hold the main idea on what this song is about. It's about the 'competition' on belonging to a specific sub-culture. One starts off being for example a punk to feel companionship among other punks. Then a new 'wave' of punks appears and calls all the other ones posers so you have to 'step it up' to stay a 'true punk', and this phenomenom keeps repeating itself over and over.
Basically, I think it describes the need to be 'hardcore' in a scene to be akknowledged.
"Sag's mir, Hippiekind"
"Sag's mir, kleiner Punk"
