It'd been too many times that I stuck out my neck
For you
It's been too many times that I spoke my mind
For you
It's been too many times that I caught all the flak
From you
Apathetic crap is all I can find
In you

I don't want no part in this
I don't feel the need to score
Burnt all bridges close to the heart
I don't want to be a part
No more

Dosvidanija ciao adieu
Hasta la vista I'm on my way
Goodbye sayonara
Auf nimmerweidersehen
Over and out
And down the drain

It's been too many times that I raised my voice
At you
It's been too many times that I walked the line
With you
It's been too many times that I've had no choice
But you
Hypocritical swine I have had it this time
Thank you

I don't want no part in this
I don't feel the need to score
Burnt all bridges close to the heart
I don't want to be a part
No more

Dosvidanija ciao adieu
Hasta la vista I'm on my way
Goodbye sayonara
Auf nimmerweidersehen
Over and out
And down the drain

    General Comment:This song was written as a lead-off track to set the tone of what was to be KMFDM's final album with Wax Trax Records, having fulfilled their contract obligations with the label. KMFDM was generating a ton of money for the label during a time when most bands have left or been sold off to majors. The song is a straight-forward "Fuck You" to the label that's releasing it.

    Coincidentally, this also became the last album Sascha Konietzko worked on with Gunter Schulz and En Esch. Therefore, it seemed appropriate to end the band's run with an album named "Adios". Of course, they did reform due to "popular demand," according to Sascha.

    My Interpretation:there was a major catalyst and probably meaning for this song & album (the breakup);

    the original (printed) lyrics might have been to throw off Gunther Schulz & En Esche from the scent. KMFDM's breakup, aside outside pressures, was mostly due to contract obligations to do with lineup - gunther and en esche were angry with sascha - and he had controlling rights to all things kmfdm. they split - acrimoniously - and this is highly in evidence by the fact many Adios and preceding album staff have worked on the albums after Adios; but never schulz or en esche, who went off to form the band Slick Idiot immediately after this.

    en esche was the major catalyst of the breakdown, and is in evidence - having a much reduced involvement in this album's production. schulz was also reduced during production - while tim skold, bill rieflin, and cheryl wilson were in usual force, and have since worked on albums like attak and hau ruck.

    this is a fuzzy recall of the explanation i had read at the time this album was released, at least.

    General Comment:Um.. this song is about how pissed off they were at what remained of WAXTRAX. Why the hell would a band who loved their fans yell "FUCK YOU!" to their fans? Other than live, which we all know is for fun... Seriously people, that album, apart from being their last as that stage of the band (before disbanding, becoming MDFMK for a disc and then turning back into KMFDM for Attak), was sort of a contractual obligation.

    General Comment:I definitely think this song is a goodbye to their fans, and I think it should be fairly obvious that Sascha says "Fuck you" at the end, because of this.
    One of their main reasons for disbanding in '99 was that they felt that no one was getting their message, and if you look at the lyrics for the song, it seems like the song is wrtitten to the people who didn't practice what they preach, or just didn't GET KMFDM and their message.

    General Comment:I agee with all of you, the song can be a goodbye to the fans and also a song about someone telling off someone else after putting up with a bunch of crap.

    Also, I think that there's often a difference with what a band will record and what's on the lyrics sheet they give the record company to print up. That's my two cents.

    General Comment:Err... I'm agreeing with Genin as well on this one. It's (ALMOST) official that Adios was a song written for their fans when KMFDM decided to disband back in... uh... '99 or something I think? It's a VERY good song regardless of why it was written though and I've always thought Sascha DOES say 'Fuck you' in that song, but most sites with KMFDM lyrics on it have it down as 'thank you' O_O" Do I need my hearing checked?

    General Comment:I'm agree with Genin.

    Listen to the song carefuly, Sasha says "Fuck You" instead of "Thank You".
