Oh boy... the song where we / I tried to rap.
Still don´t know what drived me there.
I remember that I was the one who insisted on it,
though the others were sceptic from the beginning.
Anyway, it still is one of my favorites on that album.
Horn´s riffs kick ass!
I don´t remember the exact riot that was going on that made me write that one...
What I do remember is, that even though I was 20 years old and hadn´t experienced the world and it´s issues as I do now, with more backround knowledge about politics, history etc... I sensed that something was changing...
I had the feeling that the western world I was born in has been content and feeling safe during the 80ies & 90ies.
We had freed the world from communism, we had TVs for all and mostly cool jobs with "o.k." payments for everyone.
A coke in any shop, there wasn´t too much war going on.. and so on.
9/11 even changed that.
People started thinking again, questioning themselves and the way they live, scrutinizing the hand that has been feeding them...
And the sparks are glowing brighter every day.
Now with all the occupy-movements, riots in greece and other european countries... I think fundamental things will change, soon.
lyrics
NOW! it’s time for you to see, we’re calling for a change
so a brand new age can rise!
No matter what you do, nor how hard you may try,
it still means your demise!
From whispering to screaming, from bleeding to healing.
People learn to disobey, to refuse and to say no, NO!
and they`re turning up their cries,
against this life of injustice ,you push us to by threat of force
and against your system which we despise!
You can’t hold back an entire movement forever nor for long,
‘cause the fate of endless discontent is turning billion strong.
We’re sick of hoping, we’ll fight!
An increasing change in minds, worldwide!
We gonna bring the light! Tonight!
Neither all the scared silent ones who haven’t yet realized your lies,
nor the growing few with their loaded guns
who already aim between your eyes,
will hesitate to use their heads or hands, they’re already taking action, devising plans... for a global act of resistance!
And so without fear we are still standing here,
with scars which will remain,
let desperation disappear, ‘cause it seems your end is near
and we’re close to our aim.
