When you get up in the morning You are tired, you feel sad Have a coffee, eat a sandwich Your wife is sleeping in the bed You go to work into the factory To work eight hours everyday Stupid servitude for lifetime You can`t escape, there ain`t no way
Trapped in dogmas eternally Predetermined destiny
Knowing your way of life is lunatic Work until you collapse, day in, day out To feed and to dress your wife and your children After all, at the end of your slavery you`re proud
At the end of your slavery your power`s exhausted They send you in pension, you`re useless and old They give you a gold watch and they kick into your ass The rest of your life`s left to die with your ills
You feel weak, your body`s slack and wrinkle`s round your eye Your teeth are gone, your tapeworm aches, you slowly realize You`re useless and old, what have you attained What has ever happened, why have you been living You walk through the park and you rest under trees You swing your grandson, who`s sitting on your knees Each tuesday the doctor find`s several new ills Each wednesday you search for a place to rest in peace
Until you`re born society teaches you To wear your hair short, to be dressed clean To learn to read, to write, to reckon To bend your neck, to work, to obey You`ve got the right to choose your government You choose between warm shit or cold The ludicrous parties try to delude you Tyranny until you`re old
Trapped in dogmas eternally Predetermined destiny
Knowing your way of life is lunatic Work until you collapse, day in, day out To feed and to dress your wife and your children After all, at the end of your slavery you`re proud
At the end of your slavery your power`s exhausted They send you in pension, you`re useless and old They give you a gold watch and they kick into your ass The rest of your life`s left to die with your ills
