They boys on the corner, well they're getting bored.
All the girls in class they're getting bored too.
All around them they see things they can't afford.
And things they can't afford to do.

Mommy don't like for them to stay out all night.
Daddy don't care he watch sports and drinks beer.

The kids know what to do not to end up just like you.
They rather be like the miserable girl from bahnhof zoo.
Wir kinder wom bahnhof zoo.

The boys on the corner say they will never grow up.
The girls in class they have no fun.
Got time to kill, feeling to fill and things to shop.
H and M cheap cigarettes and bubblegum.

Mommy don't know where the allowances goes.
Daddy's jerk he's either drunk or at work.

The kids know what to do not to end up just like you.
They rather be like the miserable girl from bahnhof zoo.
Wir kinder wom bahnhof zoo.

And it goes on and on..
