TURN ON THE CLOSED CAPTIONS
Sarhoş Palavraları ve Nahoş Nidalar // Drunken Lies and Unpleasant Screams (2007)
7. Following Dreams, Follow Me
[Verse 1: Kayra]
They're all the same, the faces running all around me
In the middle of every bargaining, bloody profits for a nickel to the shroud's pocket
With the ballots in their hands, they believed in countless false promises
The endless nights with the whips on their backs
The whitest sins that only makes their pile bigger,
Now in whose tongues, in what cave did they echo?
I have a drop of life hidden in the screams
The bigwigs sealing the deal with their mistresses in dark cars
They bent the country's fate over alongside the mistress
And with a bit of fantasy, they stuck every minority right in and out
They contributed with the praises to militarism
They raided houses, then got away by saying "For the homeland" in the end
[Verse 2: Kayra]
"I have a dream", such a symbolic speech
If you can think of an activist dream, it goes the rounds here
Planting a flag on Mars is no big deal, the armed flag will be burned on Mars
They'll be busy enjoying themselves while the whole world watches
This'll happen, all right
Because what's deep for you is a waterfall starting at my ankles, just saying
Go hold a meeting and answer it:
Your oh-so mighty democrasy,
Tell me, what was it so afraid of to raise the electoral threshold?
So much for defending the minority rights!
I can't help but say this too
Every flag raised for militarism feeds off of blood
And it always finds a new one
All those killer states only make it their business to carry the coffin
Unless it's possible to replace that life,
All that's said is, to no one's surprise, all in vain
So, go and talk your lungs out, nothing changes
Because you couldn't dream of anything about the peace you love talking about
But me; I'm following dreams, follow me
