You moron! You're fat!
You're poor! A damn fool!
Don't you see how things go?
Your arms are youthful and strong
Don't you see the schemes?
You gotta change
Keep on acting like a machine!
It would be better
If you start playing your role again!
You moron! You're fat!
You're poor! A damn fool!
Don't you see how things go?
Your arms are youthful and strong"
The core of our culture is growing
By feeding itself the blood of all of those
Who are standing back from the evidence
Of shackles' values and fucking shameful schemes
"Do not feel? Do not be?
Do not choose? Do not think?
Hey man take back your fake
Old fucking damn words!
M. Motherfucker this time you're gonna eat my shit
The real shame is this pain you keep on teaching
Don't you see how things go?
Don't you see how people feel?
Don't you see you're in deep shit?
Don't you see you're in deep shit?
I think you have to run far (away)
With the old fucking culture!"
