KRANK

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVCifm2UPC0

Hit rock-bottom

End of the line

Outhouse of life

Where the sun don’t shine

Down and out

Straddling demise

Get a grip on yourself

Pick up and rise

Top of the world

Designed to destruct

With wings unfurled

Sky-high and fucked

Out of the true

Crash and burn or slow down and subdue

Live and learn

Achtung! Here we come

With another motherfucking dirty bomb

Krank! - Krank it to 11

Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid 24/7

Once again rings true what we always knew

KMFDM is the drug for you

Freedom is a loaded shotgun

Krank!

Kein Mitleid Für Die Mehrheit
