"Friedenspanzer" (in German: Peace tank) is a punk song by Die Ärzte. It's the thirteenth track and the third single from their 1993 album Die Bestie in Menschengestalt.

The opening lines "Ich möchte eine Welt, in der Würmer und Insekten endlich wieder schmecken. Ich möchte eine Welt, in der ich aus einer Toilette trinken kann ohne Ausschlag zu kriegen." (I want a world, where insects and worms are tasty again. I want a world, where I can drink out of the toilet without getting a rash.) are samples from the end of the German version of the film "The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear".

The song is predominantly sung by Rodrigo González, with Bela B. Felsenheimer singing only the pre-chorus.

The video

The video features the band performing live and in between showing clips of scenes in a bathroom, where the band members and groupies at different times are, later having all the band members and a whole lot of groupies singing in there.
