Hanna der Stürmer – "Lach doch" (Go Ahead, Laugh)

[False Intro – tape hiss, then a single dry laugh] "Hah." KRRRACK! [Verse 1 – fast, bouncy, almost cocky] You built your castle out of borrowed bricks I knocked it down with a handful of tricks You wrote your rules in a book of fear I used the pages to wipe my gear You thought your name would make me shake I thought your face was a cute mistake Now you're standing in the pouring rain And I'm already gone — tschüss, mein Schatz [Pre-Chorus – half-time, sneering] Keine Tränen... nur ein Grinsen (No tears... just a grin) [Chorus – shouted, but cheerful] LACH DOCH! — it's funny, isn't it? LACH DOCH! — your whole empire's split You pulled the lever, pulled the plug Now you're drowning in your own smug LACH DOCH! — I'll laugh with you LACH DOCH! — there's nothing you can do Hanna der Stürmer — the punchline's free I'm the joke you didn't see [Verse 2 – even more playful] You hired an army, bought a tank I brought a mirror — they all went blank You screamed "betrayal!" I said "relax" Then stole your wallet and your syntax Your face is red, your hands are tied I'm eating popcorn on the side This isn't rage, this isn't spite It's just a Tuesday night [Bridge – spoken, dry, almost bored] "You spent years planning my destruction. I spent ten minutes. We are not the same." [Final Chorus – faster, laughing between lines] LACH DOCH! — it's hilarious LACH DOCH! — you're so serious Hanna der Stürmer — light as air I don't hate you — I just don't care [Outro – single power chord, then a giggle] "Hah. Tschüss."
