Welcome back to the stories you’ve been telling us
Of freedom of speech, democracy and equal rights
I hear them every time you turn to me to ask my vote
But in reality you want power, in truth you want control
There is fire in my heart
Fire that seeks the way out
The unprecedented forces that govern Mother Earth
Make nothing of you and your vision of the world
But she can take revenge and fight back
To destruct her oppressors and to purify herself
There is fire in my heart
Fire that seeks the way out
You want to believe your vote is important
You want to believe you can change something
You want to believe in freedom of speech
You want to believe in equal rights
But all you get is system
System of brutality fuelled by fear
All you’re given is system
System without justice
I’ve been asking this myself ever since
Why don’t we turn our backs, why don’t we leave?
But instead we buy their stories every few years
After all it’s they who drive us into bitter tears
So why don’t we stop, why don’t we abandon this?
We know it’s time to stop, it’s time to resist
And yes, there is fire in my heart despite my age
I still haven’t laid my arms, no fucking way
It’s time to stop
It’s time to abandon this
Why don’t we stop?
Why don’t we abandon this?
Why ?
All you get is system
System of brutality fueled by fear
All you’re given is no justice
