Opium fürs Volk (Opium for the people) is the seventh studio album by the German punk band Die Toten Hosen. Although it's not considered a concept album, it has a central theme of religion (exemplified by the intro "Vaterunser", "Die zehn Gebote" and "Paradies"). It is regarded as one of the best Die Toten Hosen albums. The title is derived from a common misquotation of Karl Marx, who called religion the Opium of the People - Opium des Volkes.
1995: "Nichts bleibt für die Ewigkeit"
1996: "Paradies"
1996: "Bonnie & Clyde"
1996: "Zehn kleine Jägermeister"
One unreleased demo from the album surfaced in 2007 with the re-release of Auf dem Kreuzzug ins Glück.
