RAMMSTEIN - BENZIN (PETROL)

Ich brauche Zeit
Kein Heroin kein Alkohol kein Nikotin
Brauch keine Hilfe
Kein Koffein
Doch Dynamit und Terpentin
Ich brauche für Gasolin
Explosiv wie Kerosin
Mit viel Oktan und frei von Blei
Einen Kraftstoff wie
Benzin
Brauch keinen Freund
Kein Kokain
Brauch weder Arzt noch Medizin
Brauch keine Frau nur Vaselin
Etwas Nitroglyzerin
Ich brauche Geld für Gasolin
Explosiv wie Kerosin
Mit viel Oktan und frei von Blei
Einen Kraftstoff wie
Benzin
Gib mir Benzin
Es fliesst durch meine Venen
Es schläft in meinen Tränen
Es läuft mir aus den Ohren
Herz und Nieren sind Motoren
Benzin
Willst du dich von etwas trennen
dann musst du es verbrennen
Willst du es nie wieder sehen
lass es schwimmen in Benzin
Benzin
Ich brauch Benzin
Benzin
Gib mir Benzin.
ENGLISH
PETROL
I need time
No heroin nor alcohol nor nicotine
I don't need help
Nor caffeine
But I do need dynamite and turpentine
I need oil for gasoline [2]
Explosive like kerosene
With lots of octane and free of lead
A fuel like
Petrol
I don't need a friend
Nor cocaine
I need neither a doctor nor medicine
I don't need a woman, just Vaseline
Some nitroglycerine
I need money for gasoline
Explosive like kerosene
With lots of octane and free of lead
A fuel like
Petrol
Give me petrol
It flows through my veins
It sleeps in my tears
It leaks from my ears
Heart and kidneys are motors
Petrol
If you want to part with something
then you have to incinerate it
If you never want to see it again
let it swim in petrol
Petrol
I need petrol
Petrol
Give me petrol
"Benzin" (The German word for Petrol, or Gasoline) was the first song to be introduced from Rosenrot. Rammstein first played "Benzin" live at Berlin's Wuhlheide Park in June 2005. Theatrical flames shot twenty meters into the air during the live performance. Later, the song was also played at several other concerts, one of them at Nîmes, which is included on the band's new live DVD Völkerball. It is the only song to have been played live to date.
Benzin can be interpreted as a political reference to the high gas prices being experienced in many countries around the world (Ich brauche Geld für Gasolin/I need money for gasoline). "Gasolin" is not actually a German word, but an English word made German. There was, however, a German chain of gas stations called "Gasolin."
Also, bassist Oliver Riedel briefly discussed the song on Rosenrot with Kerrang!, a music magazine published in the United Kingdom, where he said "We have so much fire in our shows that we wondered if we could have some lyrics about petrol, because it's been responsible for our success outside of Germany. It's basically our ode to pyromania."
The Music video depicts the majority of the band as bored firefighters who receive a call and drive an oversized firetruck, destroying everything in their path to reach one survivor -- Christian Lorenz -- who they totally fail to save.

A great song about gasoline addiction.

I would light my house of fire right now if I knew Rammstein was going to show up in that firetruck. Germans win, when it comes to giant, badass, vehicles of destruction. If you don't believe me just google giant German tank. Now somebody just needs to build a real functional firetruck like shown in the video asap. Actually I will take any vehicle that needs a ladder on it in order to get inside.
