about

The indifference with which many people react to everything that doesn't directly affect themselves forms the basis for this song. We live in a connected world, within seconds we become witnesses of the suffering in all parts of the world. So many people are oppressed in authoritarian or totalitarian regimes, live under the threat of islamist terror groups, suffer from extreme poverty or are persecuted because they are not compatible with the ideas of the re-spective ruling system. 2262 people drowned in the Mediterranean in 2018, because "secure external borders" are obviously a higher good for the European majority society than the lives of these people. And we are seeing all this. But far too many people ignore all that. The neo-liberal society urges us to blank out everything around us and primarily to have our own pro-gress in mind - which often means the progress of ''our'' nation synonymously. And this ideol-ogy is so successful that it is adopted unquestioningly by the vast majority while solidarity has become a foreign word for many.

lyrics

they're drowning, they're starving - they get rid of their right to live
they're prisoned, they're tortured - cause their thoughts are too progressive
they're oppressed, they're driven out - they don't fit in the big concept
they're harassed, they're exploited - and you've got nothing to do with it

be true to yourself and stop talking shit
you're just a selfish fuck who's always trying to fit
if it's not directly concerning you, you directly dismiss
all you care about is trivial but that's just how it is

no matter how many books you've read, no matter what's on your account
the world get's driven to it's end while your life is safe and sound
fuck everything you know if you don't know the word compassion
and what is your compassion worth if it doesn't lead to action?

I dare you, don't tell me you wouldn't know what's going on
you've simply closed your eyes, your ears and keep living like this for years

how can you be like that? how can you be like that?
you say you're just like everyone - how can you be like that?
