So Milgram knew it

lyrics

Things have been created so they can be changed,
Things have been created so they can be moved,
Nothing is true except your intimate conviction
That the world you are given is fake.
Cheap holidays in other people's misery,
Rules fall down, they bank on your apathy,
They bank on your ignorance,
They bank you'll remain quiet.
Don't live as an object
But as a part of history,
Things depend on your acts,
Things can be abolished.
On ashes anything is possible,
(They) aim at nothing but cash against chaos.
Our landscape still cries out misery.

And so you want a revolution,
But you should start with building your own,
And forget everything about this marhsmallow's world.

I'm nothing but I should be everything,
They go from a job they hate to a screen
Where others lead a better life
Than the one they could ever get.
I'm nothing and you are everything,
The world rotates on rules based on a fraud
Which are so total and venal
That they deserved to be destroyed,
Erased from people's memory.
They still bank on your apathy,
They bank on your ignorance,
They bank you'll remain quiet.
On ashes anything is possible,
(They) aim at nothing but cash against chaos.
Our landscape still cries out misery.

And so you want a revolution,
But you should start with building your own,
And forget everything about this marhsmallow's world.

And you should make this world a better place,
We'll follow you.
Forget about the things you'll have to face,
We'll follow you.
Fighting all alone, won't make things change.

And so you want a revolution,
But you should start with building your own,
And forget everything about this marhsmallow's world.
