Translation of the song Das Lineal artist Vera Jahnke

Langweilig war's dem Lineal,

The ruler had a giant sword

denn alles war ihm grad egal.

He didn't care and was bored

Ist es normal, nur maßzuhalten,

How can some people be restrained?

wie soll man sich denn so entfalten?,

For that, you simply can't be trained -

so dachte es ganz liberal.

As a free thinker, his was the last word.
