Waving The Guns - 11 - Sei Cool - Schlachtrufe Wtg [Android]

While some tracks on the album are overtly political (attacking the state and police), "Sei Cool" focuses more on the lifestyle aspect of the left-wing radical identity—pogo, punk rock, and rejecting the "Abschluss" (graduation/career path) in favor of the "Absturz" (crash/partying).

This track remains a fan favorite for its raw, unfiltered look at the "outsider" identity that helped WTG fill a unique gap in German left-wing rap. For more, you can explore their full discography on Audiolith Records or follow their latest updates on Discogs .

"Sei cool, sei du selbst, sei dabei, sei betrunken / Auf Drogen, tief gesunken, sagen manche, liegst du auf'm Boden / Ich sag: „Coole Party!“, Untergrund und Pogen / Punkrock, klar dass euch Idioten das ankotzt."

The lyrics flip the script on being called "lazy" by the middle class, instead framing a life of leisure and substance use as a form of social "strike".

Musically, it leans into the group's early Boom-Bap sample-heavy sound , heavily influenced by their roots in the Rostock punk and alternative scene. Context within Schlachtrufe WTG

The song is a sardonic call to embrace an alternative, non-conformist lifestyle, directly contrasting social expectations of "success" with the grit of the underground scene.

It critiques the mainstream "rat race" by celebrating being "uncool" by society's standards—being drunk, on drugs, and "deeply fallen".

As the 11th track on a 14-track debut, "Sei Cool" sits alongside other defining early songs like "Bad Kids" and "Gesetzestreue".
