lyrics

LYRICS

at least i'm sober, at least i can think
i choose to think about how much i will drink
and i guess that i'll drink every beer i can find
it's okay to do that with a sober mind

and yes i only hang around at the bar
far from commanding a starship
still i'd like to be just like picard
in the best TNG scripts

the captain always had a solution
for injustice and corruption, aggression and pollution
the captain always got out of impossible situations
and led his crew into the next generation
the captain was always calm and confident, was always strong
and he did fuckin admit whenever he was fuckin wrong
and it didn't do him any harm

and yes i only hang around at the bar
far from commanding a starship
still i'd like to be just like picard
in the best TNG scripts

but i'm not like the captain, mostly i'm just a bum
but oh yes the captain inspires me to become
the best bum i can become

„[...] ungeschliffene, gestochen scharf auf den Punkt kommende, englischsprachige
Songminitaturen voll von schrägem Humor und bitterbösen Weltbetrachtungen, die schlecht
gestimmte Gitarre schnörkellos rudimentär, die Stimme ein wütendes Knurren, kaum ein Lied
länger als zweieinhalb Minuten. Wunderbar!“ (NN)

"Schräger Antifolk mit Bart, Klampfe und Mundharmonika. Zum Verlieben!" (A&F) ... more
