Cover art for Auswärtsspiel lyrics by Die Toten Hosen

Turn the floodlights on, They're coming out soon Then the show can start! And they're not alone 'cause we're here even if their eyes fail them.

It doesn't matter if we lose the game 'cause that's not important and whether anyone else catches on isn't in our interests - (not sure on these 2 lines)

You can knock us as often or as hard as you want but it will nevertheless never happen not one of of us wants to switch places with you because you're not like us.

Ole ole ole ola, We don't care who wins Ole ole ole ola, because it's not about that.

Eventually there comes a time where one has to choose what side they're on in life even when it's really painful.

And if you can read, have a look at what it says on our stand "'til the bitter end" We want to go all the way.

Ole ole ole ola, We don't care who wins Ole ole ole ola, it's more than just a game.

even when we're last and constantly losing not one of us will ever want to switch places with you

Ole ole ole ola, Fuck the victory Ole ole ole ola, It's only an away game.

IMO it's a passionate song about following your football team through thick and thin. It's about fan loyalty and how it runs deeper than just watching the game. It's about showing that you have a better support for your team than the other teams fans do, even when you lose. DTH are all Duesseldorf fans, so they know better than anyone the ups and downs of football.
