About Friedenspanzer

"Friedenspanzer" (in German: Peace tank) is a punk song by Die Ärzte. It's the thirteenth track and the third single from their 1993 album Die Bestie in Menschengestalt. This song is about a war machine, that spreads peace, love and solutions for problems in the world, and helps people. "Friedenspanzer" and "Schopenhauer" on the maxi single are identical versions as on the usual single. The opening lines "Ich möchte eine Welt, in der Würmer und Insekten endlich wieder schmecken. Ich möchte eine Welt, in der ich aus einer Toilette trinken kann ohne Ausschlag zu kriegen." (I want a world, where insects and worms are tasty again. I want a world, where I can drink out of the toilet without getting a rash.) are samples from the end of the German version of the film "The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear".

"Ich möchte eine Welt,
Eine Welt in der Würmer und Insekten endlich wieder schmecken
Ich möchte eine Welt, in der ich aus einer Toilette trinken kann ohne Ausschlag zu kriegen"

Tagesschau ist nicht mein Fall
Nichts als Mord und Massensterben überall
Die Hunde des Krieges wieder losgelassen
Wenn Schwestern und Brüder sich wieder hassen
Wenn Bomben fallen, Terror regiert
Und der Mensch im Allgemeinem zum Hass tendiert

Das was mir dazu einfällt für die Rettung dieser Welt
Friedenspanzer
Er schießt Liebe in dein Herz
Bringt den Frieden ohne Schmerz
Friedenspanzer
Friedenspanzer

Er schießt Blumen statt Granaten
Er trifft jeden, auch die Harten
Anstelle Giftgas gibt es Rosenduft
Schwängert mit Weihrauch die verschmutzte Luft

Er lässt uns niemals mehr allein
Und auch du und ich und alle
Werden seine Munition sein

Das was mir dazu einfällt für die Rettung dieser Welt
Friedenspanzer
Er schießt Liebe in dein Herz
Bringt den Frieden ohne Schmerz
Friedenspanzer
Friedenspanzer

Er näht das Ozonloch zu
Er pflanzt 'nen neuen Regenwald im nu
Die Hungersnöte stopft er mit der Tofukanone 
Erklärt die ganze Welt zur Antiwahlfangzone

(Selbst die Neutronenbombe hat versagt)
(Hier ist als Lösung nur noch eins gefragt)

Das was mir dazu einfällt für die Rettung dieser Welt
Friedenspanzer
Er schießt Liebe in dein Herz
Bringt den Frieden ohne Schmerz
Friedenspanzer

Macht Schluss mit jeder Diktatur
Ich frag mich wie macht er das nur
Friedenspanzer
Er hilft uns bei jedem Reim
Trägt Omas Einkaufstüten heim
Friedenspanzer (Friedenspanzer)
Friedenspanzer (Friedenspanzer)
Friedenspanzer (Friedenspanzer)
Friedenspanzer (Friedenspanzer)
