Track notes
[edit]Onkelz wie wir
[edit]Like many Onkelz songs, "Onkelz wie wir" glorifies the band.
Von Glas zu Glas
[edit]A song about alcohol, and the phenomenon of girls appearing prettier from glass to glass.
Erinnerungen
[edit]This song is an elegiac goodbye to the old days. "I love to recall those times / Times I'll never forget / But I have to live my life, go my own way / Take care, good old days / Farewell."
Bomberpilot
[edit]An ironic song about the insanity of wars.
Dick + Durstig
[edit]This song is about alcohol, as well as the band's lead singer Kevin, who weighed about 240 pounds around this time.
Falsche Propheten
[edit]This song is against following all kinds of "false prophets", whether they are religious or political figures, or the band itself.
Am Morgen danach
[edit]The morning after heavy drinking.
Schöner Tag
[edit]Another song about alcohol.
Heut' Nacht
[edit]A song about murderous obsession.
!
