A Reinigungswagen vor an Cineplex, / a zernudelter Popcornbecher. / Per Handy mocht a Madl endlich Schluss mit ihr’m Ex, / daneben fluacht und huast a oida Zecher.
Und die Morgensunn leicht a heit wieder aufn Kahlenberg / und moit ung’fragt freches Gelb in miade G’sichter. / A Kaffee no, an Tischik, und dann ans Werk, / Wann’d Hacken aus is, brennen am Giartl wieda d’Lichter.
Du bist die Hauptstodt fia olle, / die söba net bei si’ daham san. / Bist wia a ausg’wechselts Schloss, / in des a net da neiche Schlissl passt. / Du falongst mehr, / als dass’s geben wüst, / so hamma lernen miassen, / uns söba z’nehma. / Und do schau her: Du losst da’s gfoin.
A Kran hot sie neilich in an Business-Turm faschaut, / weil sei Spiegelbüd schaut eam so ähnlich. / In da Brigittenau homs an neichen Wolkenkratzer baut, / de Brigittenauer Wolken krotzt des reichlich wenig.
Mein eastn Freind, den homs wegn Grafitti eignat. / Aufd Nordbahnbruckn hot a mein Namen aufegsprayt. / Die Sprayer vo heit lossn sie ja vom Kulturomt bezoin, / oba mein Namen auf da Nordbahnbrucken traut si kana übermoin.
Langsam merk i, du zierst di nur vor mir, / markierst den coolen, unnahbaren Schönen. / In Wirklichkeit bist allaa, so allaa wia wir, / Du wirst di an uns scho no gwehnan.
Unter Glas, Beton & Spekulation hean wir wos pochen, / aus Fleisch is’, aus Bluat is’, net golden, aber zinnobern. / Wer wenn net wir kann des Korsett aufbrechen, / wer wenn net wir die City fir di zruckerobern?
Dann bleib ruhig die Hauptstodt fia olle, / die söba net bei si’ daham san. / Aba des Schloss wirst nimmer auswechseln, / und i werd den Schlissl nie mehr ändern. / Gib zumindest so fü, wiast falongst fo uns. / Denn wir san du, / und du bist wir. / Und wir lossns uns gfoin.”

“A wash cart in front of a Cineplex, / a scrunched up popcorn cup. / A girl finally wants to break up with her ex by cell phone, / next to her an old boozer curses and coughs.
And the morning sun, again, eases up the Kahlenberg slope, / and paints, unbidden, fresh yellow onto tired faces. / One more coffee, and a smoke, and then it’s back to work, / when the day is done, the lights return along the Gürtel.
“You are the capital for all, / who aren’t at home in themselves. / You’re like a replaced lock, / into which the new key doesn’t fit. / You demand more / than you wanna give, / so we learn to take / what we can get, / And whaddya know, / you put up with it.
A crane has taken a shine to the Business Tower, / because its reflection resembles it / In Brigittenau they put up a new skyscraper / and the sky over Brigittenau doesn’t give a damn.
They arrested my first boyfriend for graffiti, / spraying my name on the Northern Railway Bridge. / The sprayers of today get paid by the Department of Culture, / but my name on the bridge no one dares to paint over.
Slowly I realize, you only play hard to get with me, / play the cool unapproachable beauty. / But in reality, you’re alone, as alone as we all are, / You’ll have to get used to us.
Under glass, concrete & speculation we hear it throb, / of flesh, of blood, not golden but cinnabar. / Who but us, can break the mold, / who but us can re-conquer the City for you?
So, stay the capital for us all, / all of us who don’t feel at home with themselves. / But you won’t replace the lock again, / and I’ll never change the key. / Give at least give as much / as you ask of us. / Because we are you / and you are us. / And we put up with it.”
