|
Have to run along |
|
An extended line |
|
Have to hurry on |
|
Within a shortened time |
|
They keep me from moving uphill |
|
You speed up your cunning treadmill |
|
And I must recognize, that I'll |
|
Never leave the state of a standstill |
|
Have to renew |
|
My right of residence |
|
Cause I don't exist |
|
For the lack of evidence |
|
They're grabbing hold of my neck |
|
You're trying to pull me back |
|
And I must recognize that I'll |
|
Never leave the state of a standstill |
|
Two stones tied up to my legs |
|
So you can watch me struggling |
|
Two stones to keep me under water |
|
And you can watch me bubbling |
|
Just want to live like everyone |
|
Want to live like a common man |
|
In a common home |
|
Just like you |
|
Every step I take |
|
Will daily get transfered back |
|
To my family clan |
|
Who demand my daily combat |
|
They paid for illegal crossing |
|
You want me to work for nothing |
|
And I must recognize that I'll |
|
Never leave the state of a standstill |
|
Have to hurry on |
|
Have to run in two directions |
|
See the dogs from far |
|
Set on me from both directions |
|
They're ordering me to be faithful |
|
You're ordering me to be grateful |
|
And I put my hands up |
|
Because I don't want to kill |
|
Two stones tied up to my legs |
|
So you can watch me struggling |
|
Two stones to keep me under water |
|
And you can watch me bubbling |
|
Just want to live like everyone |
|
Want to live like a common man |
|
In a common home |
|
Just like you |
