lyrics

“I have been waiting for your exile
As long as you might know
Already burned your houses
You won’t start moving though
So I keep calling for the landlords
I don’t want to fight
Oh, they’re coming armed and ruthless
With chaos left behind”
Swearing slurs off uppish mouths down to the ground quoting
misled villains from the darkest of decades. The game is on.
Who can compete with the most reckless and self absorbed
mindsets and who has the guts to spill it out loud in public?
The broad reaction? It becomes apparent both unexpected and
awful: a big hand … Damn, are you kidding me?
Not even a language
As we know this got out of hand years ago. When blistering terms
managed to cut through, reaching marks followed by unacceptable,
soon tolerated behavior and action beyond repair. Once
considered as deleted, outdated. But this is still happening.
Some claim it as pure passion and they are disgustingly wrong.
Wrong again. Are you ready to leave?
“Where you goin’ with your havoced mind?
Is it true you’re leaving back right into the wild?
We’ve been growing — well, call it friend of mine
But I will never admit we are one of a kind”
Not even a language
Whoever comes from abroad is assumed corrupt to a fragile
construct of a functioning society, tested and approved by hearsay, ensured
by misguided associates and mutually agreed. Some
have never been brave enough to wet their hands in public
dialogue but dive right into this pool of lies, just like proudly
entering an ill prepared trap. Officials listening, accepting
and proliferating total bigotry while lacking any kind of interest
for those really affected.
They literally sense that sweaty skin — shaking, but hide under
guarding hoods and take advantage of impressions determined
by offensive yelling while the actual content remains without
comprehension.
Jaw — many, deceased culture
This is not even a language
And we will always refuse to acknowledge this kind of phonetics.
We will never leave
But where do we go?
COLOUR vanishes
AGE was made for laws and statistics
GENDER is fluid
SIZE shrinks and wears out
SPECIES mutate
SHAPES shift
PLACE OF BIRTH can be left and is nothing but lucky shit
Just like wealthy friends
Soil is where it all ends — keep that in mind while looking down
Go figure
In the end we are all equal by death
