At least as of several years ago, Nils could be found at @schallundrauchmusic _____ LYRICS: To be “in“ means conforming, to be an individual gets you out. But up to date means down tomorrow, so rip this fashion dictate apart! To be _in_ means conforming, to be an individual gets you out. But up to date means down tomorrow, so rip this fashion dictate apart! You can barely hide your greed, you buy clothes you don’t need. But up to date means down tomorrow, so rip this fashion dictate apart! The perfect sales manager is a social danger because he knows all about what makes you tick. You swim on each fashion wave, you look like all your friends. Why do you sell your creativity, who put you up to this stupidity? Wear this! Wear that! You have to look so smart! Important is just the surface - rip this fashion dictate apart!
