Gross National Product Lyrics
When the factory siren blares early in the morning
And the time clock groans with pleasure as it punches
In the assembly hall the neon sun is shining
And the forklift operator brags with the stacking fork
Yes, then we spit into our hands again
We increase the gross national product!
Yes, yes, yes, now we spit into our hands again!

The nurse gets a big fright
Again a sick man is gone
They amputated his last leg
And now he's back on his knees again!
Yes, now they're spitting in their hands again
We'll increase the gross national product
Yes, yes, yes, now they're spitting in their hands again!

When grandpa gets on his bike on Sunday
And secretly enters the factory
Then grandma is afraid that he will collapse
Because grandpa's on extra shift again today!
Yes, now we're spitting into our hands again
We'll increase the gross national product -
Yes, yes, yes, now we're spitting into our hands again!

A-a-at Christmas all lie around and say puh-uh-uh-uh
The garbage can does not close any more
The gift tables are getting more and more colorful
And on Wednesday the garbage collector comes and fetches all the junk
And says now we spit into our hands again
We increase the gross national product!
Yes, yes, yes, now we spit in the hands again!

When the factory siren blares early in the morning
And the time clock groans with pleasure as it is punched
Then one after the other the work frenzy has taken hold
And now they sing together in
Work-cycle-cycle-cycle-cycle-cycle-cycle:
"Yes, now they're spitting into their hands again -
We'll increase the gross national product!
Yes, yes, yes, now we spit in the hands again!
We are increasing the gross national product!
Yes, yes, yes, now we're spitting into our hands again!"
