Be ready to crawl
Once you have learnt to walk
They’ll wreck every ship
Loot your stores
Learn how to swim
If you don’t want to get drowned
No longer today
Tomorrow already seized
The rights you once had
They all are left behind
Falsehood in nice disguise
Pirates in suit and tie
They’re repressing and pressuring
Strangling, destructing
Erasing and hiding
Deriding, they say
‘My friend, this is for your own good’
How can it be?
Whitewashed kind of tombs
You better shut up
Unless you wanna join the club
There’s always a price
And freedom will cost your life
Old rusty cage where I’m locked
Home for the thrown overboard
