Clean. 1998 München / 66 Drogentote. Wir können uns nicht leisten, unkritisch und passiv zu sein. Wir können es uns nicht leisten, den Tod und das Elend unserer Kinder, Angehörigen, Freunde und Mitmenschen in Schweigen und Demut hinzunehmen! Generell fordern wir die Akzeptanz verschiedener Lebensstile und verurteilen somit die Diskriminierung von (ex) drogengebrauchenden und substituierten Menschen mit und ohne HIV und Aids.

Translation of lettering: "Clean. 1998 Munich: 66 drug overdose deaths. We cannot afford to be uncritical and passive. We cannot afford to accept in silence and with humility the death and misery of our children, relatives, friends and fellow men! As a standard, we demand acceptance of different lifestyles and hence condemn the discrimination of (ex) drug users and people on drugs-substitutes with and without HIV and Aids."
Playing on two meanings of 'clean' (be off drugs and mow the garden)
