Divná planeta

A strange feeling takes over you when you open your eyes,
we've got our fingers in it, don't try to clear yourselves of guilt,
let's behave the way guests should behave,
we'll beg too late, when only ruins are left here.

I'm shuffling along alone down a dark and long road,
walking with my head bowed, clouded, confused,
full of thoughts that just won't go away,
only people leave, they take beautiful memories with them,
and they take a price with them that's unbearable for me,
it's fake like a henna tattoo,
they're here for a while and then they laugh,
well, on a strange planet strange things happen.
I'm heading into bad weather, where everyone looks at beauty,
girls measure a relationship by the length of the dicks,
where did the drive go, every gentleman used to have it,
a gentleman on every corner opened doors for ladies, and today,
wherever I look, someone kidnapped someone,
it's horror, madness, forests cut down everywhere,
on our planet only industry can bloom,
and this planet is like a cage you can't escape from,
wars, racism, drugs, murderers,
so many traps that knock people to their knees,
a ricocheting bullet that killed a little boy,
for the family it's unimaginable torment,
alcohol behind the wheel, drugs in the streets,
a mess next to the road, where is this world heading,
my mind is starting to stop at what's going on,
'cause I'm standing with you on a ship that'll soon be wrecked.

And what is this? And where am I?
Is this reality, or just a stupid dream?
Am I some kind of idiot, or do you have that feeling too,
that our land is rushing to its doom right under our noses?

Step by step you walk through life,
you fight for your place under the sun,
you don't want to be a slave, you worry about the future,
but you can hardly know what will happen around the corner,
look, your plans can die quickly,
in a moment everything's different, you won't even have time to move,
this strange planet sweeps destinies around,
death comes like a bastard and slits your throat.
Mankind doesn't learn, hostility rules the world,
little kids press their fingers on the trigger of a machine gun,
we've been seeing it here for an eternity,
we close our eyes, we sit whole hours away on the net,
we work, we contribute to the boom,
we fucking kill most of our time,
you look forward to the date when you collect your paycheck,
you're surprised, robot, that you didn't fill your pockets.
People are always in a hurry, even though they don't know where,
life is slowly but surely losing its meaning,
life and quality are measured in money today,
nobody believes anymore that truth and love will win,
there's no room for feelings, we're building careers,
we devastate the land, we put up barriers,
we recklessly pump shit into the atmosphere,
what will our sons and daughters breathe, I wonder.
I'm not trying to play the Salvation Army,
it just pisses me off how people saw off the branch they're sitting on,
ignoring the facts and the problem doesn't pay off,
not even the saints will help, everything will come back to us.
