Revolution [English translation]
Revolution [English translation]
Okay, say it
Okay, what if tonight was the night
When we took it back
Back to love?
(One love, one life, right?)
I feel it's cold in the spirit of our time
Feel that we're stuck in a time pocket
I sometimes think that perhaps we went
A step too far in evolution, it's almost as if
None of us can find peace within
We've never had this much, never been less free
It has never been easier to be get connected
But with technology, love has gone away
Come to a halt, feel within yourself - do you feel me?
If you think I'm tripping, thinking I'm chasing ghost
Go take a trip through the traffic of this city
And see how much time passes before you get a killing look
Or a fuck finger from a stranger in the middle of the street
Tell me where it comes from
All this hate
The only way to end it is a revolution
But before I send the first bullet
I'll give love another shot
[Chorus: Burhan G]
I never said that I've got all the answers
I'm just saying that we were better as we were
Perhaps I'm a dreamer, and I'll probably wake up some day
Oh, take me back
Take – take me back
We've come to somewhere we've never been before
The generation where everyone has an outlet
We can go around the world in a second and let them hear
What we want to say, but it's wasted – look at what we're doing
In the comment section, hate's flowing in their voices
I love my country, but I'm not cool with Nationen1
And a culture where those who step a bit too far out of line
Are shot down, back into the rank or bang bang
I think hate is a blindfold
It's becoming so easy to sell as a web of lies
As we're fighting about skin colours and sexuality
There's a war about power and oil – there's fire on my planet
I've yet to see anyone turn water into wine
So I'm an atheist, but my brother's a muslim
And I'm not sure of anything, but I believe in revolution
Where we don't send a single bullet
But we give love a shot
[Chorus: Burhan G]
I never said that I've got all the answers
I'm just saying that we were better as we were
Perhaps I'm a dreamer, and I'll probably wake up some day
Oh, take me back
Take – take me back
I never had a solution
I'm just saying that we were better as we were
Perhaps I'm a dreamer, and I'll probably wake up some day
Oh, take me back
It's silence before the storm
We're about to wake up
It's become too expensive to live
If you want to live, you've got to take a loan
And who wouldn't want to feel special?
And take care of their family
So we get ourselves into debt
Stressing around, high on caffeine and sugar
A million tiny screens which never turn off
And we're drowning
Yearning for something which doesn't exist
Put a light in the air if you know the feeling
And sing:
[Chorus: Burhan G]
I never said that I've got all the answers
I'm just saying that we were better as we were
Perhaps I'm a dreamer, and I'll probably wake up some day
Oh, take me back
Take – take me back
Take me, take me back [x7]
Take – take me back
Yo, I do realize it's simple
But perhaps it's "simple" we need
We'll get nowhere if we stand still
