Lyrics:
My voice screaming through your mobile telephone,
My fists clenched tight against your status quo
My teeth are brand new from Dr. best and his son
My soul for a little bit of resolution
It was on sale at an offer, an unbeatable price
‘Trade in your wasted life for a newer device'.
It had only begun and I already knew
Theres something wrong with this promise, its a problem for you
I won't give in, I'm taking it back
I won't give in, I'm taking it back
I won't give in, I'm taking it back
Guten tag, Guten tag, Now I'm taking it back
I can't give anymore so now I'm taking it back
Guten tag I admit I was impressed at the start
But your life starts crashing when you take it to far, Guten tag
My voice coming at you on a late night show
My fists raining close down on your cheek bones
My teeth biting at the heart of television
My soul for a little bit of revolution
It was on sale at an offer. an unbeatable price
‘Trade in your wasted life for a newer device'.
It had only begun and I already knew
Theres something wrong with this promise, its a problem for you
I won't give in, I'm taking it back
I won't give in, I'm taking it back
I won't give in, I'm taking it back
Guten tag, Guten tag, Now I'm taking it back
I can't give anymore so now I'm taking it back
Guten tag I admit I was impressed at the start
But your life starts crashing when you take it to far, Guten tag
Mobile Phones
Dr. best and his son
Unbeatable price
Its a problem for you
on a late night show
Resolution
My sould for a little bit of revolution
It was on sale at an offer. an unbeatable price
‘Trade in your wasted life for a newer device'.
It had only begun and I already knew
Theres something wrong with this promise, its a problem for you
I won't give in, I'm taking it back
I won't give in, I'm taking it back
I won't give in, I'm taking it back
Guten tag, Guten tag, Now I'm taking it back
I can't give anymore so now I'm taking it back
Guten tag I admit I was impressed at the start
But your life starts crashing when you take it to far, Guten tag
