Listen to the victim, abused by the system The basis is racist, you know that we must face this. "It can't happen here". "Take a look around at the cities and the towns." See them hunting, creeping, sneaking Breeding fear and loathing with the lies they're speaking The knife, the gun, broken bottle, petrol bomb There is no future when the past soon come. And when they come to ethnically cleanse me Will you speak out? Will you defend me? Or laugh through a glass eye as they rape our lives Trampled underfoot by the right on the rise [CHORUS} Ich bin ein Ausländer (4x) Welcome to a state where the politics of hate Shout loud in the crowd "Watch them beat us all down" There's a rising tide in the rivers of blood But if the answer isn't violence, neither is your silence If they come to ethnically cleanse me Will you speak out? Will you defend me? Freedom of expression doesn't make it alright Trampled underfoot by the rise of the right [CHORUS] Ich bin ein Ausländer. (8x) Ausländer
