Einer muss den Job ja machen English translation
von Udo Lindenberg

That's what makes a real rock star
Throw the TV out the window
Dope a lot like Keith Richards
And then to wash the blood 10 times a year

Doesn't live in the house but in the hotel
The ladies will find him quickly
Then it goes on as usual
The boss still does the customer service here personally

Yes, even if it is sometimes animal hard
If nobody else, nobody else is here at the start
It's all useless
Somebody has to do the job
Please no half measures
One really rocks it
Somebody has to do the job

The early bird can do it
Must sleep late, beauty is his capital
At one in the afternoon he sneaks up to the bar
Whiskey gargling makes the voice clear


Well droned he drives the Corvette
Briefly in the stadium, the show is getting fat
Sex and drugs and rock'n'roll
The VEB singer, the noble chav, oh!

If no one else is there, the question arises here
Does he really have to go back to his old age?
It's all useless
Somebody has to do the job
Please no half measures
One really rocks it
Somebody has to do the job

Somebody has to do the job
Please no half measures
One really rocks it
Somebody has to do the job!

20 years drunk and gone
Then he was ready for his comeback
Trained the Plauze away
And became fast like Emil Zatopek


He easily pulled the joker out of his pocket
And became the phoenix from the bottle
Somebody has to do the job
Please no half measures
One really rocks it
Somebody has to do the job

Even if it's t-t-awe hard sometimes, ah
If nobody else, else k-k-no one is here at the start
It's all useless, someone has to do the job
Please no half measures
One really rocks it
Somebody has to do the job

Somebody has to do the job
