Lyrics
Original
Translation
Bilingual
Idolized and victimized
Apolitized and mesmerized
That's civilized, that's civilized
ย
We're on this dead end job, going nowhere
It cover our costs, not a lot more
We're building pyramids and bunkers
Capitalists Sisyphean boulder
ย
We started at rock bottom, and we've been there ever since
Hard working and donwntrodden, in the swing of things
We got something in front of us that is waiting to happen
That's what an imposed relationship does, it's not a matter
Of if, but when
Half of the work about dealing with the other peoples mess
Society's by a thread and reeling, the weakest link's the strongest
Two steps forward, one and a half back, on a good day with
Some luck,
Sometimes it amazes us, mostly were struck that it's not more
Fucked up
ย
They pay others to do the dirty work, if it's discovered, also
The fall
Silence might get you hurt, talking will get you killed for sure
Remember, it's not a crime as long as you don't get caught
Suit and tie, lawyer by your side, the chances are you'll walk
Everything can be explained, no illegal acts were done
Respectable business men making a fortune
ย
In the poorer parts of town, kids high on drugs run around
Armed with guns
Like they've seen on the screen, and been told in mainstream
Pop songs
They're all killing each other for a fast buck, turf, honor and fame
Ending up on a wall, free or rip followed by their names
There's class and there's class that defines who we are and
There's crime
The prisons filled with workers, personnel and prisoners doing time
The upper class run the courts, decides the rules, make the laws
And order justice
Do a Kennedy in robbery, invest in immunity and all's dismissed
That's civilized, that's civilized
So civilized
The song for International Workers' Day 2020.
The line "will get you killed for sure" is stolen from DeadPrez'
track Don't Forget Where You Come From.
