[Intro]
I don't speak German, but I can if you like, ow!
Ich schleiban austa be clair, es kumpent madre monstère
Aus-be aus-can-be flaugen, begun be üske but-bair
Ich schleiban austa be clair, es kumpent üste monstère
Aus-be aus-can-be flaugen, fräulein uske-be clair
Ich schleiban austa be clair, es kumpent madre monstère
Aus-be aus-can-be flaugen, begun be üske but-bair
Ich schleiban austa be clair, es kumpent üste monstère
Aus-be aus-can-be flaugen, fräulein uske-be clair
Ich schleiban austa be clair, es kumpent madre monstère
Aus-be aus-can-be flaugen, begun be üske but-bair
Ich schleiban austa be clair, es kumpent üste monstère

[Verse 1]
I'll take you out tonight, say whatever you like
Scheiße, scheiße be mine, scheiße be mine
Put on a show tonight, do whatever you like
Scheiße, scheiße be mine, scheiße be mine (Scheiße be mine)
[Pre-Chorus]
When I'm on a mission
I rebuke my condition
If you're a strong female
You don't need permission
[Chorus]
(I) I wish that I could dance on a single prayer
(I) I wish I could be strong without somebody there
(I) I wish that I could dance on a single prayer
(I) I wish I could be strong without the scheiße, yeah
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Without the scheiße, yeah
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Without the scheiße, yeah
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Without the scheiße, yeah
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Without the scheiße, yeah
(I don't speak German, but I wish I could, ow!)
[Post-Chorus]
Ich schleiban austa be clair, es kumpent madre monstère
Aus-be aus-can-be flaugen, begun be üske but-bair
Ich schleiban austa be clair, es kumpent üste monstère
Aus-be aus-can-be flaugen, fräulein uske-be clair
[Verse 2]
Love is objectified by what men say is right
Scheiße, scheiße be mine, bullshit be mine
Blonde high-heeled feminists, enlisting femmes for this
Express your womankind, fight for your right (Fight for your right)
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ah, ah) When I'm on a mission
(Ah, ah) I rebuke my condition
(Ah, ah) If you're a strong female
(Ah, ah) You don't need permission
