I hear some talk of guns and butter
That's something I can do without
[Incomprehensible] only blood and iron
O doctor doctor, what's in my shirt?

Just keep quiet, no room for doubt

I hear some talk of blood and iron
That's the cause of all my shaking
The fatherland's no place to die for
It makes me want to run out shouting

I hear some talk of guns and butter
That's something I can do without
[Incomprehensible] only blood and iron
O doctor doctor, what's in my shirt?

Just keep quiet, no room for doubt

I hear some talk of blood and iron
That's the cause of all my shaking
The fatherland's no place to die for
It makes me want to run out shouting
