[intro]
ich beschwere, auf meiner fünften Sprache
ich singe, mit meiner fünten Stimme 
ich kampfe, mit tausende fremden Geste
ich verteidige, gegen  ‘e unsichbare Feine     

[verse]
bei einem Interview, die Jury nur schwieg
sie guckete mich an mit ihrer Nase schief
„Warum ist Ihr Name so schwierig“
Sonst keine Frage mehr hatte sie           

meine Konkurrenten, sie waren alle weiß
die Aufgaben haben sie kaum geschafft
Rate mal, wer die Stelle kriegte
„Die andre passt besser ins Betriebsgebiet.“   

[bridge]
kein Rassismus, Im Grundgesetz 
Doch wer zeigt’s an, wenn’s Alltag ist?
Auch mit Beweis, kein Ergebnis,
mit riesen Aufwand, kann man es nur vergiss

[refrain]
ich beschwere, auf meiner fünften Sprache
ich singe, mit meiner fünten Stimme  
ich kampfe, mit tausende fremden Geste
ich verteidige, gegen eine unsichbare Feine 

ich beschwere, auf meiner fünften Sprache
ich singe, mit meiner fünten Stimme
ich kampfe, mit tausende fremden Geste
ich verteidige, gegen ‘e unsichbare Feine 

[verse]
Konnichiwa Hajime mashite (yatta)
das soll jeder Asiat:innen verstehn 
aber du bist trans dann musste du in Thailand geborn  
ach was, Thailand ist nicht Taiwan?

(seno)Annyeonghaseyo  
bist du Kim Jong-uns Spionin
hast du Virus in deinem Belonging 
bist du heimlich eine Kungfu Meisterin
das gehört bestimmt zu deinem Training, oder

kein Rassismus, Im Grundgesetz

[refrain]
ich beschwere, auf meiner fünften Sprache
ich singe, mit meiner fünten Stimme   
ich kampfe, mit tausende fremden Geste 
ich verteidige, gegen ‘e unsichbare Feine 

ich übersetze, auf meiner fünften Sprache
ich musste, schneller als den Muttersparchler 
ich beginne, die fünfte Seite meiner Geshicht
das heißt, die erste Generation Migrante

I am my own ancestor
I live here

[intro]
I complain in my fifth language
I sing with my fifth voice 
I fight with thousands of foreign gestures
I defend myself against  an invisible enemies     

[verse]
During an interview, the jury just sat there silently
They looked at me with their noses turned up
“Why is your name so difficult?”
They had no other questions           

My opponents were all white
They barely managed the tasks
Guess who got the job
“The other one fits better into the working environment.”   

[bridge]
No racism, in the constitution
But who reports it when it’s everyday life?
Even with proof, no result,
with enormous effort, you can only forget it.

[chorus]
I complain in my fifth language.
I sing with my fifth voice.  
I fight with thousands of foreign gestures.
I defend myself against an invisible enemy. 

I complain in my fifth language.
I sing with my fifth voice
I fight with thousands of foreign gestures
I defend against an invisible enemy 

[verse]
Konnichiwa Hajime mashite (yatta)
every Asian should understand that 
but you're trans, so you had to be born in Thailand  
oh what, Thailand isn't Taiwan?

(seno)Annyeonghaseyo  
Are you Kim Jong-un's spy?
Do you have a virus in your belongings? 
Are you secretly a kung fu master?
That's definitely part of your training, right?

[bridge]
No racism, in the constitution 
But who reports it when it's everyday life?
Even with proof, no result,
with enormous effort, you can only forget it

[chorus]
I complain, in my fifth language
I sing, with my fifth voice   
I fight, with thousands of foreign gestures 
I defend myself against an invisible enemies 

I translate, in my fifth language
I had to be faster than the native speakers 
I begin the fifth page of my story
that is, the first generation of migrants

[outro]
I am my own ancestor
I live here

oh my cavities 
oh my cavities smell in my empty mouth
oh it’s the taste of my cavities      

oh cavities, oh cavities   
it's the taste of my cavities 
oh my cavities smell in my empty mouth
 
 
I’m looking for something    
to have my mouth filled in  
I’m looking for something    
for my mouth
I’m looking for something    
to have my mouth filled in  
I’m looking for something    
to fill my mouth

oh my cavities in my empty mouth
I taste the cacities
and remember all my diseases
oh cavities
It’s my cavities smell in my empty mouth
oh my cavities smell in my empty mouth

I’m looking for something    
to have my mouth filled in  
I’m looking for something    
for my mouth
I’m looking for something    
to have my mouth filled in  
I’m looking for something    
to have my mouth filled in  

I need to bite it
I need to crush it
I need to bite it
I need to crush it

I need to bite it
I need to crush it
I need to bite it
I need to crush it

I need to bite it
I need to crush it
I need to bite it
I need to crush it

I need to bite it
I need to crush it
I need a new odour
to cover the old ones

Frank creates a unique soundscape in the transition from noise to music. In 2023, he has arranged his improv set with hints of melodies, sporadic rhythms and sound structures formed by a variety of analogue sound samples. These are integrated into the digital signals of a no-input mixer. Another element is the Super Resonator. This is a resonator guitar modified by Michael Danner. Driven by a motor, the strings are set into permanent vibration and generate a endless sustain. This leads to a radical change in the sound and handling of the instrument.
