I really don't know. Kevin Griffen failed to clarify the song was about,
when they played up at University of Rhode Island. If anyone can
translate german, i'm sure i'd make better sense?

I would have to say that the song is about the street preachers which
you can find in cities like New Orleans, where the band oftened
performed in their early years - and now they live there.
Anyway, here are they lyrics. . for any other information about BTE
