Gefeuert
Udo Jürgens
Fired
In the pub outside the factory gate
The men from the shift meet
And you ask the friend at the bar
What kind of face are you making
He reaches into the pocket of his jacket
And pulls out a blue letter
Then he says you can read it yourself
And then buy me a drink
Because they fired me
Because I'm no longer thirty
They throw me to the scrap heap
Towards the large garbage dump
Fired
Back when he started forty-six
Was the factory a big pile of rubble
And he also helped to build it
And he destroyed himself
He was there whenever there was need
He did not participate in wildcat strikes
Today he says it was all for nothing
And now I get a kick
Because they fired me
Because I'm no longer thirty
They throw me to the scrap heap
Towards the large garbage dump
Fired
He says disappointedly to his colleagues
Looks like I have to go stamp
I'll wait in the pub
Just to see you again
Because they fired me
Because I'm no longer thirty
They throw me to the scrap heap
Towards the large garbage dump
Yes, they fired me
Because I'm no longer thirty
They throw me to the scrap heap
Towards the large garbage dump
Oh, yeah, they fired me
