Track notes edit
Onkelz wie wir edit
Like many Onkelz songs, "Onkelz wie wir" glorifies the band.
Von Glas zu Glas edit
A song about alcohol, and the phenomenon of girls appearing prettier from glass to glass.
Erinnerungen edit
This song is an elegiac goodbye to the old days. "I love to recall those times / Times I'll never forget / But I have to live my life, go my own way / Take care, good old days / Farewell."
Bomberpilot edit
An ironic song about the insanity of wars.
Dick + Durstig edit
This song is about alcohol, as well as the band's lead singer Kevin, who weighed about 240 pounds around this time.
Falsche Propheten edit
This song is against following all kinds of "false prophets", whether they are religious or political figures, or the band itself.
Am Morgen danach edit
The morning after heavy drinking.
Schöner Tag edit
Another song about alcohol.
Heut' Nacht edit
A song about murderous obsession.
! edit
A fast guitar instrumental. The working title was "Speed".
