[Intro] [distorted electric guitar riff, syncopated drums] (No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no) ### VERSE 1 As always, we still haven't realized what truth is. We act as if the world were normal what happens inside it is done by human hands. On some days, I don’t even want to go outside, suffering so much from what people fail to understand. ### VERSE 2 The father sitting in his car and smoking, with his little ones right behind him in the car seats. The people throwing their trash on the street in front of their doors, as if green nature around them were just a joke. As long as their own front yard is clean. ### VERSE 3 The people throwing away burning cigarette butts in the woods in midsummer, risking forest fires, or those who even do it on purpose. The people who rant about humans who look different or are different, pointing fingers – while kindness vanishes in the wind. People blaming GOD for what humans have done inside the church. Where the snake eats its own tail, everything starts all over again. ### CHORUS It hurts to know what is happening here, behind closed doors – in masses, in masses, in masses. And those who know it and still look away, share the responsibility for it. "What are we supposed to do? It's not our fault." In resignation, ignorance, and consumerism – and the world keeps spinning. ### VERSE 4 "Don't be so dramatic, that's just the way it is. Don't look." It doesn't matter. Watch out, or you'll ruin yourself. What's it to you? The neighbor is a tyrant. Screams and crying echo from the house, nobody dares to do anything out of fear of his violence – and we dread it. ### VERSE 5 Police looking away from certain characters. Institutions draining and managing our tax money. Brainwashing in schools, yes, unfortunately. Resignation – I can even understand it. The helplessness, ignorance, and silent rage. The fact that nobody wants to expose it takes away my courage too. ### CHORUS It hurts to know what is happening here, behind closed doors – in masses, in masses, in masses. And those who know it and still look away, share the responsibility for it. "What are we supposed to do? It's not our fault." In resignation, ignorance, and consumerism – and the world keeps spinning. ### VERSE 6 I am no better than others, no better than you. But I know that in this world, I find no peace. I wish we humans would stick together more. Stop buying products that don't give a damn about animal welfare, for which the rainforest vanishes as if there were no tomorrow, as if we didn't have to worry about the future. ### VERSE 7 Making children just to live off child benefits, supporting them zero and saying: "Now they have to see for themselves, that's just life." Xenophobia or blind tolerance, there we have it again. Either-or, more and more, and slowly every balanced equity completely vanishes. ### BRIDGE (PRAYER) LORD, I pray to You. You are hope. You are my refuge. You are my rock. Make us all wake up.. everyone. ### OUTRO Completely and utterly. Completely and utterly. Completely and utterly. [final guitar chord rings out]
