This world could be a way better place, if people took responsibility... It's not the right time to lay back!
lyrics
Not The Right Time
Surrounded by a miracle,
We’re living in this nice world.
Everybody should be happy
And never say a bad word.
Humans are all equal
And all animals are free.
Color really doesn’t matter
And nobody cuts a tree.
Sincerity's a virtue
And corruption is a myth.
The more you work, the more you have
The more it gives you bliss.
These illusions are long gone,
Like Santa and his friends.
Misery’s the status quo
And happiness a trend.
It’s not the right time to lay back,
Or to live in lethargy,
There’s a fight without grace
And it’s called reality.
Your decline is getting you,
But you don’t try to run away.
The media is fuckin’ minds
And we just stand and stare.
Seven people, ten opinions,
Everyone is right.
We’re on a never ending mission,
But the aim got out of sight.
School is just a worker breeding,
Quantity beats quality,
Some asshole thinks he should be leading,
Into a modern tragedy.
It’s not the right time to lay back,
Or to live in lethargy!
Here we go and go again,
Will it always be the same?
Who is gonna win this game?
If we lose we’re all to blame.
Surrounded by a miracle,
We’re living in this nice world.
Everybody should be happy
And never say a bad word.
Wars are necessary
And nobody dies in vain.
Guns are saving lives,
Do not prove me wrong again!
Money makes me happy,
So it justifies my deeds.
Spending it for what I want
Fulfills all of my needs.
These illusions are long gone,
Like Santa and his friends.
Misery’s the status quo
And happiness a trend.
Sometimes someone turns around
To take a second look
And figures out it’s different from
Just reading out of books.
Sometimes someone tells the truth
And everyone is shocked.
Go and get him, make him shut up,
Or better keep him locked!
Here we go and go again,
Will it always be the same?
Who is gonna win this game?
If we lose we’re all to blame.
Here we go and go again,
And complain about no change.
First of all switch on your brain
And then we’ll have a chance!
How did we get here?
How to get away?
Who sells our future?
Who is gonna pay?
Who makes decisions?
Who is to obey?
Who rules the world
And causes life in pain?
How did we get here?
How to get away?
Here we go and go again,
Will it always be the same?
Who is gonna win this game?
If we lose we’re all to blame.
Here we go and go again,
And complain about no change.
First of all switch on your brain
And then we’ll have a chance!
