Testo : Nina Hagen – Smack Jack
He just needs a hot shot
He just needs a hot shot
He just needs a hot shot
You are always running out
And you are always running short
Nothing matters anymore
All you want is go and score
No one starts with two a day
But they all seem to end that way
Shoot it up, Smack Jack
Shoot it up, Smack Jack
It’s a drag with a monkey on your back, Smack Jack
Shoot it up, Smack Jack
Shoot it up, Smack Jack
It’s a drag with a monkey on your back, Smack Jack
Shoot it up, Smack Jack
Shoot it up, Smack Jack
It’s a short-term solution
He just needs a hot shot
He just needs a hot shot
He just needs a hot shot
He just needs a hot shot
You never could have thought or guessed
That things could get so far out of hand
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
I’m gonna see you coming down
In a cold sweat running
It’s gonna be a different tune
That you will soon be humming
Shoot it up, Smack Jack
Shoot it up, Smack Jack
It’s a drag with a monkey on your back, Smack Jack
Shoot it up, Smack Jack
Shoot it up, Smack Jack
It’s a drag with a monkey on your back, Smack Jack
Shoot it up, Smack Jack
Shoot it up, Smack Jack
It’s a short-term solution
He just needs a hot shot
He just needs a hot shot
He just needs a hot shot
He just needs a hot shot
The devil’s got his hooks on you
You are racing his clock
His plastic paradise won’t last
You’ve got a no future and no past
Anyone can see your eyes
Excuse me, hell is full of lies
Shoot it up, Smack Jack
Shoot it up, Smack Jack
It’s a drag with a monkey on your back, Smack Jack
Shoot it up, Smack Jack
Shoot it up, Smack Jack
It’s a drag with a monkey on your back, Smack Jack
Please, don’t do it no more
Don’t do it no more, no more, no more
No more, no more, no more, no more
No more, no more, no more, no more
No more, no more, no more, no more
No more, no more, no more, no more
Junkies are sentimental
Junkies are very, very sentimental
Stop it
Smack ist Dreck
Stop it oder verreck!
