Citizens in Rage (German: Bürger in Wut (BIW)) is a German right-wing populist voters' association represented in the state parliament of Bremen. It is led by Jan Timke.
It was founded in March 2004 as a successor to the Bremen section of the Party for a Rule of Law Offensive ("Schill party"). Its focus has been on crime fighting and immigration policy.
The association participated in the 2007 Bremen parliamentary election. Bremen electoral law has a threshold that a party must surmount by winning 5% of the popular vote, either in the city of Bremen, or in Bremerhaven. Citizens in Rage contested the smaller constituency of Bremerhaven. According to the official results, the association won 2,216 votes or 4.998% – only one vote short of the threshold. Thereupon, Citizens in Rage requested a re-count. The competent court detected relevant mistakes in the elections in the constituency of Bremerhaven, and imposed an election rerun in one voting precinct. In the rerun on 6 July 2008, Citizens in Rage won 27.6% of the popular vote in the concerned precinct, which revised the Bremerhaven result of the movement up to 5.29% – enough for one seat in the state parliament.
Walking in circles on a life line
Waiting for the right time
To try to bring myself to life
Get moving forward on a straight line
All the things in my mind
Are not that far Im catching up
Fashion is distraction when the crowd screams
All the fancy lights gleam
And your head starts getting large
But if your going to make the big scene
Make sure that youre still listening
Youve gotta make yourself take charge
Take charge of my life
Mold it how I wanna be
You think you know
But Ive got another side of me
Take charge of my life
Live it how I wanna be
I think I know
I can feel it inside of me
My head is filled with all these big dreams
Fantasy it may seem
Were gonna make it to the top
Determination through the local scene
Blowing up the mainstream
Were on a roll and you cant stop
Us bringing lyrics and a hard sound
Coming soon to your town
Our shit has not been rated yet
You best believe this is the prequel
Be looking for the sequel
Were giving more youve got to get
Take charge of my life
Mold it how I wanna be
You think you know
But Ive got another side of me
Take charge of my life
People coming up to me
Saying there it is
When I can see it in front of me
And Im reaching out
Trying to chase my dreams
And Im learning now
The stars are further than they seem
Feeling the pressure for a deadline
Running out of time
We gotta make this happen now
Keeping our minds off doing fat lines
Just bringing mad rhymes
The only question is when not how
Because up there you know its there time
Down here its our time
And Im taking my wishes back
So you better know when IN-RAGE
Gets the fuck up on the stage
Theres not a damn thing
That we lack
Take charge of my life
Mold it how I wanna be
You think you know
But Ive got another side of me
Take charge of my life
People coming up to me
Saying there it is
But I can feel it inside of me
And Im reaching out
Trying to chase my dreams
And Im learning now
The stars are
Further
Everything inside my head
Is fucking up and I cant seem
To get myself out
Of this trap I cant believe
I let myself go fall for this
Charade of fashion
Everything inside my head
Is fucking up and I cant seem
To get myself out
Of this trap I cant believe
I let myself go fall for this
Charade of fashion
And Im reaching out
Trying to chase my dreams
And Im learning now
The stars are further
Than they seem
And Im reaching out
Trying to chase my dreams
And Im learning now
The stars are further
Than they
