    • 2018, “Was ist hier los?”, performed by Eisbrecher:
      Erst geht nichts los, dann fängt nichts an
      Und wenn nicht heut, dann irgendwann
      Mal geht nichts rein, dann kommt nichts raus
      Nur heiße Luft in diesem ehrenwerten Haus
      Was ist hier los? (Was?) Was ist passiert? (Was?)
      Wie kann es sein, dass das hier keinen intressiert?
      Was ist hier los? (Was?) Was ist passiert? (Was?)
      Soll das so sein, dass hier rein gar nichts funktioniert?
      First nothing goes on, then nothing starts
      And if not today, than some other time
      Nothing goes in, then nothing comes out
      Just hot air in this honorable house
      What's going on? (What?) What happened? (What?)
      How can it be that no one here is interested
      What's going on? (What?) What happened? (What?)
      Should it be that absolutely nothing here is working
