occupy 02:01
sitting on the streets and screaming at the sun fishing for words to form protest songs songs that should spread around the world to unite the miserable 99 percent now reclaim the alleys, occupy the streets and point at the mighty, mighty one percent occupy occupy, the streets are yours what will you do, now that the streets are yours liberty parks with hundreds of tents where anarchy is brewed with sleeping bags and those witty posters and smiling placards they are still blowing in the wind a Utopian nation built on plebiscites but where can I see your first signs well, good boy, please let me know are your ideals still running around well, good girl, please let me know are these grounds still called liberty parks and these nights spent outside will they ever leave a mark and this cold winter wind will he ever sing a protest song, the protest songs, these protest songs somewhere, these thinkings, these actions, these principles, these utopias...they will succeed

come on 02:25
we are born in this rich country in the middle of the world in prosperity our lives are good, our future is secured and mum and dad are happy to see us grow we creep together in the filthy mud just beside the minefield, behind our shack hunger feelings numbed with glue to survive our lives in the streets a primary school being out of reach no teacher to learn important stuff hands or legs lost in wars we are longing for better lives come on, come one, together we are strong come on, come on, one for all and all for one some years later in the filthy mud you kiss the girl that I've kissed before as you've pledged to do on my deathbed when I lost my fight and met mum and dad so enjoy the time with this girl but this virus won't leave you anymore no money for a proper treatment are mum and dad glad to see you soon? in this country where we are born no such problems ever confront us as mum and dad, to tell you the truth, are this great to ignore them all fuck off, fuck off, together we'd be strong fuck off, fuck off, it's a matter of fact that we don't care

the king 03:33
an elitist guild reaches for everything nothing is enough not even you and me it seems to be an outrageous rush of a small minority climbing high trees I would grab at your greediness if I could, to feel you would abandon your abundance if you could, to see all this gleaming prosperity will fade away all the efforts to support the king are not enough to maintain our pretence we tear apart all the scars we open all our old wounds how long will it take until we see that what we do is wrong that nothing is free, not even the king is for free we're just here to reap what we've sown we're just here to see the king's not free

everything 02:55
stuck in my life I listen to this song just this little band with these old tunes yet another melody never to forget my heart is bouncing and I feel alright everything, this means everything!
