The song is played up and down on Austrian radio stations.

Why? Because people’s English is not good enough to understand the lyrics?

Your mouth is a revolver firing bullets in the sky
Your love is like a soldier, loyal till you die

in German approximately

Dein Mund ist eine Revolver, der Kugeln in die Luft feuert
Deine Liebe ist wie ein Soldat, loyal bis in den Tod

Your song is like a torture hurting in my ears
the lyrics are so heavy; they’re bringing me to tears

Obama and Merkel decide that German should become the only official language in the U.S.
