Wikipedia article
"'Zu spt'" (German for 'too late') is a punk song by German band Die rzte. It was the eleventh track and the second single from their 1984 album 'Debil'.
It's a humorous song about jealousy and revenge. The narrator is devastated over his love interest's preference of a wealthier rival and compares their capabilities of entertaining the girl throughout the song, while fantasizing that he will be a star someday and will then reject her, when she'll come crawling back.
