Cheops pyramid

Versions: #1
I'm just a slave hard at work at King Cheops pyramid
We're the ones working at the base
And we're bleeding and we're sweating to do our daily share
You don't want to be the one who loses pace
 
And if you've ended up down here
at the end of every spear
you can never leave, however fast you run
But the King, he is the scion of the sun.
 
Behind fifteen walls of stone
Behind fifteen locks and bars
the power and the riches dwell and rule
And no one gets to bother them, there is nothing but control
Their rooms and thoughts are comfortably cool
 
And if someone needs to die
Without ever asking why
Someone else will follow orders and comply
And the screams can not be heard from way up high
 
But when the night gets long
we join voices in a song
carried by the wind to those who rule
about a people long gone
that built a giant tower
reaching up to the heavens
But the higher it rose
they started to lose
the connection to the ones at the top
And the tower got so high
they were no more the same
and without that understanding
The tower could not hold
 
It seems like all through history
and by people of all kinds
There's always being pyramids constructed
And a few are at the top, with all the power and control
and the rest of us just do what we're instructed
 
But if the powers that will be
won't let anyone be free
and hold nothing but contempt for all their slaves
 
Their own pyramids will soon become their graves

Guaranteed individual

Guaranteed
Individual
she runs around
and thinks about herself
In a hall of mirrors
she fumbles around
and looks for the truth
but encounters her own picture
 
She is skeptical
and she is rather tolerant
because everything is relative
it is the only thing that is true
She rejects with a shrug
Gods and authorities
Seeks freedom
but finds only loneliness.
 
LSD and heroin are a way to come out
Sleeping pills and morphine to finally get closure
with confinement and be free
Still everything is as before
 
Guaranteed
Individual
she runs around
completely for herself
And it never ends
how much she still wants
We never come forward
until we all sit still
 
Guaranteed

One must know what one wishes for

There is something, I want to say to you
I hope you are listening.
If you open both ears,
then perhaps you will understand.
It is hard to be honorable,
When the dreams go away.
One must know what one is wishing for,
to get when one wants to have.
 
But now you stand like hucksters
at Verona's vegetable market
and pretend to sell your wares
from a flat willow basket.
And you are negotiating your offers
and you know your price
that how even the customer is humiliated,
the store is never a deal.
 
Yes, it is hard to be sick,
when the medicine is done.
You know it well..
But if there is no help,
for one to cure oneself
in order to come out.
 
You say that you love animals,
because they are exactly like children.
and then you shriek hysterically
when we send you a vulture.
And you say that you love us
and you will heal the world's distress.
But you give your love somehow when
you give a poor old one bread.
 
Yes, it is hard to be sick,
when the medicine is done.
You know it well..
But if there is no help,
for one to cure oneself
in order to come out.
 
Now we stand here and wait,
while the rain pours down.
And although it is raining cats and dogs,
then we only become more and more.
And soon the train is starting,
you have said you want to be along.
But if you don’t come now,
then you come too late.
Yes, if you don’t come now
then you come too late.

On the way

Don't despair sisters,
even though the road seems long!
We will come where we have purpose,
if we don't turn around.
If it is one mountain or ten,
what does it matter.
No, the main thing is, in spite of everything,
that we are going in the same direction.
 
Don't despair sisters!
Your struggle is also ours.
It is not to measure or be measured if
the battle exists.
Although the disguises change
in the oppression's masquerade,
we have still the same enemy,
when the masks have been pulled off.
 
They will petrify us
and they want to divide us
because alone and divided
we are easier to beat.
But if we unite ourselves,
if we join together,
then there is nothing that can stop us
from reaching our goal together.
 
The people will conquer!
They can not be vanquished!
And those who were humiliated
become victorious in the end.
But half of humanity
will never be free
as long as the other half
is held in slavery.

Don't be afraid, it is only them.
Don't you recognize them?
Don't be afraid, it is only them.
Don't you recognize them?
Even if they can seem dangerous sometimes,
it is only that they can boast to each other.
 
Don't be afraid, it is only him.
Don't you recognize him?
Don't be afraid, it is only him.
Don't you recognize him?
He has dressed himself up
to be with you.
This is only something
he pretends that he is.
 
Of course it is fun to disguise oneself sometimes.
Certainly it is a joke to be someone else.
But think, in case everyone believes the mask is you.
Think, if they believe that it is so you appear.
 
Don't be afraid, it's only me.
Don't you recognize me?
Don't be afraid, it's only me.
Don't you recognize me?
Don't you recognize you?
Don't you recognize you?

While the richest children become fat
The poorest children die of hunger
and although they say that we are alike,
it is always they who are right.
They say we are sitting in the same boat
both the officer and the sailors.
But how I then try and carry myself
so it's always I who row.
So it is always I who row.
 
If freedom for the lame one
is to walk precisely where he wants,
and if the silent can be emperor
if he only says so,
yes, then is the shoemaker's boy freedom
to stay by his father's trade
and it is freedom for the poor
that they can buy what they want.
That they can buy what they want.
 
They say we belong together,
that we are all brothers,
that we will learn to live with each other.
But when the times become scarce
and you will try it like a bond,
then all talk about brotherhood ends
and you take what you can.

Andersson and Company

They say Andersson is unemployed,
because he doesn't come along
and that Pettersson sleeps outside,
because the factory has been closed down.
and that Nilsson is too old
and the little girl Fridlund is too young
and that Ingalill is a housewife,
because the family has bought a dog.
 
But take them together,
then they are a group
then may one seek the answer somewhere much higher up.
And only together
they can take battle,
so they can change their conditions and decide their lives.
 
And Benke drinks 3.2 beer
because school is so boring
and without her pipe Eva feels
like a badly oiled machine,
And Lena escapes with glossy
novels about success
and others escape through the window
to avoid being there.
 
But take them together,
then they are a group
then may one seek the answer somewhere much higher up.
And only together
they can do battle,
so they can change their conditions and decide their lives.
 
And Mrs. Olsson shoplifts at the department store,
because the day is so long
And Kenta steals cars
because the world is too crowded
And Bosse blows up the safe deposit box
because it will be such a lovely bang
and chief accountant Ek takes his office home with him,
because his wife wants to have a fur coat.
 
But take them together,
then they are a group
then may one seek the answer somewhere much higher up.
And only together
they can do battle
so they can change their conditions and decide their lives.

Dance melody

This my beauty is a dance tune.
This my beauty is a dance tune.
This my beauty is an enchantment.
Here I am.
I am the same kind as you.
 
We have no band like The Rolling Stones
And I have no voice like Jimi Hendrix
and no Rolls Royce like John Lennon
But what does it matter
We'll cope anyway.
 
So string your fiddle and grasp your horn.
We will create our own music culture
for mankind and gods and plants and animals.
Here we are
We are the same kind as you
