Track notes
Scheißegal
The song deals with what is actually legal and what is illegal to do in today's society with regard to other people's reactions toward your actions. Scheißegal, meaning something like I don't give a shit, sung by the band deals with the fact that today you are bound to certain behaviours in our society and that you have to act in such way you can be accepted as a member of it. The band tries to tell the audience that they do not care about what people think about their actions and that this behaviour is not right.
