I remember yesterday, times long forgotten
|
We lacked nothing, everything was so simple
|
Those memories are still here, though faded
|
We are already complicated, it seems simple
|
It was a good time, a life with a sense of security
|
You were still at home, connected to nature
|
And the world is part of you, you are a child of God
|
No one had much when someone had a lot
|
We were all equal and not just that
|
You don't have to be the same, we don't have to go for knives
|
I'm not trying to kill you, even if we have to go for the knives
|
Everything belongs to everyone, no one is greedy
|
No one was a leader, but they listened to the elders
|
They listened to their father, the big ones paid attention to the smaller ones
|
We worked together, we improved together
|
And then something happened to us and look where we are today
|
Millions of hungry families
|
Thousands die every 24 hours
|
God bless the barefoot children
|
The river itself is a toxin, air full of fumes
|
Who can tell us what?
|
Cheap drinking water maybe another 15 years
|
And at that time, we're done with oil, too
|
We cut down forests, not for trees, because of steaks, cheeseburgers
|
The largest drug is testosterone
|
And this whole scheme is short-sighted - Ponzi
|
Carefree life in the west - ending
|
When the fuel runs out, guess what's coming - wars
|
After all, the most developed industry is - arms
|
Sewer in the place where paradise used to be - abundant
|
The only thing you'll find everywhere is trash
|
An obvious mess, but no one sees him - blind
|
We borrow from our children
|
What will happen to us tomorrow?
|
I see how we share and work together, we are not selfish, eh
|
We understand the collective interconnection of everything, the scientists already agree, ej
|
We will silence those TVs and those smartphones and finally we will get rid of skepticism, eh
|
We will give our women strength, no matter how nice, caring, they don't have to be
|
sexy
|
We are not afraid of diversity, we are building communities, we are learning to live well, ej
|
We are no longer sucked out by big corporations, no one has to slave anymore, eh
|
The stories we tell make us one family together
|
And it's nothing new, we already know it all, just remember |
