G--------------
D--------------
A--------------
E--2-7-7-9-----
 
the lyrics are:
 
Die Wunder Dieser Welt Werden Dir Geschenkt
Gluck Ist Nicht Kauflich Sehnsucht Bleibt Unerreicht
Preisratsel Winken Nimmersatt
Kein Mitleid Fur Die Mehrheit
 
Nihilistic Mystics
Apostolic Alcoholics
Messianic Manics
Cataclysmis and Prolific
 
In The Age Of Super-Boredom
Hype and Mediocrity
Celebrate Relentlessness
Menace To Society
 
Refuse Is Our Inspiration
Terrorism Our Trade
Sabotage and Piracy
Chaos Our Mental State
 
Mesmerizing Festering
Intended For The Faint Of Heart
Cultish And Anthemic
Until Death Us Do Part
 
Like a Fiendish Tropic Virus
Spitting Bile On All You Whores
Razor-Sharp Tongue In Cheek
Poking At Your Open Sores
 
A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing
The Ultimate Disgrace
Wrapped Up As A Gift Of God
Exploding In Yr. Face
 
Wenn Der Untergrund Bebt Ist Die Ordnung Erschuttert
Der Verrat An Der Seele Macht Leben Ungesund
Mit Unschlagbaren Reimen Werden Wir Uns Vertreiben
Die Zeit Der Langen Weile Bis Zum Grossen Bums
 
CHORUS:
This is Counter Culture
>From The Underground
Eternal Revolution
This Is Our Sound
KMFDM- Better Than The Best
Megalomaniacal And Harder Than The Rest
 
-----------------------------------------
and that's pretty much the whole song... yay
