Life In A Goldfish Bowl Songtext

von Baard

Life inside a pond or submarine
Still protects the limits of its scene
Brains exchange the humanized decays
Alienated minds could find a place

The ancient city of Rome
Imperial centre for the worship ceremonies
Of the living circle
Now revealed with the precision of
Modern architecture and technology by Duce Benito Mussolini
He overlooks his final statement of creative ability
The dictator's smile is the subject of
A large scale of psychological studies
What made him do it
When he's dead he won't see the results of his works
So why bother in history anyway

Selfishness controls our fantasy
Why obtain a group mentality
Language just pretends to reach its goal
Silent is the goldfish in its bowl

Thousands of demonstration signs on the White House Lawn
All ethnical groups represented
Mrs Helen Flanegan to be considered
An ordinary American housewife
WASP and secretary of a local charity fund
Has left the family silver at home
To participate in a women's peace march
All to save her grandchildren
From the death of nuclear warfare around the world
Why does she bother
When she's dead she won't be able to face
The consequences of her actions anyway

Evil has its logical disguise
Charity promotes our merchandise
Frameworks are the options that we make
Solidarity remains a fake

In 1974 a pact was formed through a manifest
Signed by eleven young intellectuals
From all seven continents
The document stated that the human being is
An alienated sum of incidents
Logical but complicated
The purpose of communication is to fulfill
Credibility from meaningless liberations
Within a system of reproduction
The urge to control and gain power
The urge to support and socialise
Are merely products of an immature kind

Homo Sapiens
An animal
Homo Sapiens
Crown of creation
