About Alkohol

"Kein Alkohol (ist auch keine Lösung)!" (No alcohol (is no solution either)!) is a song by Die Toten Hosen. It's the second single and the eighteenth track from the album Auswärtsspiel. The narrator paints a bleak picture of his life, and explains that not drinking doesn't improve matters. Furthermore, he states that even Jesus realized that one can't do without drugs (referring to the miracle of transforming water into wine) and that teetotallers (singling out the Vatican and the Taliban as examples) are the worst people.

Ihm ist so richtig übel
So wacht er jeden Morgen auf
Er quält sich aus dem Bett
Und kotzt sich erstmal aus

Seine Hände zittern
Sein Gesicht ist leichenblass
Er stolpert panisch durch die Wohnung
Und sucht nach einem Glas

Es gibt für ihn nur einen Freund
Der ihn wirklich versteht
Der immer für ihn da ist
Auch wenn's ihm noch so dreckig geht

Mit ihm durchquert er
Selbst das allertiefste Tal
Schluck für Schluck
Kämpft er sich durch den Tag

Mit Alkohol, mit Alkohol
Alkohol macht Kinder froh
Und Erwachsene ebenso

Alkohol, Alkohol
Wie der Vater, so der Sohn
Warum wundert sich Papi so?

Sie hat den ganzen Tag geschuftet
Unbemerkt und ohne Dank
Danach geht sie wie ferngesteuert
In Richtung Küchenschrank

Vor ihr steht 'ne Flasche
Sie ruft, „Komm und trink mich aus“
Dann bist du ein paar Stunden frei
Und wachst erst morgen wieder auf

Mit Alkohol, mit Alkohol
Alkohol macht Kinder froh
Und Erwachsene ebenso

Alkohol, Alkohol
Wie die Mutter, so die Tochter
Warum wundert sich Mami so?
