America
You are the big boss governing the world.
You are the big brother saving us from getting hurt.
Every time I turn on the TV
I see your holy war for more democracy.
Your struggle, your fight, your supposed victory
Over the terror.

To make the world feel free and safe.
And you want nothing in exchange
for your noble quest for change.
Or am I strapped to any chains?
I don't feel shame, humiliation, degradation –
There is nothing to blame.

But the fact is – I feel nothing!
You try to keep us numb and weak.
But you forget one thing – we know all that!
And we do not forget!

What did you do to Manning?
What will you do to Greenwald or to Snowden?
You're keeping us in fearing,
in an illusion, that we're free, so that
we don't get in your way to conquer.
But the fact is – you're afraid of our getting stronger.
We do not want to live in an illusion any more!
The day will come – we will come forward!
That day is soon going to come – hold on!
Don't feel too safe!
We'll take our claim!
And say our say!

There is not much I want this time and place.
A little bit more freedom – that is all I hope for.
But who can give me that today?
America? – Your days are over!
