È stata tua la colpa [English translation]

It was your own fault, so now why are you complaining?

You wanted do become one of us,

and how do you miss those days when you were

a puppet with no strings

and now, you do have strings!

Now you can't move an inch if there isn't someone above you

to order you around and pull your strings

Now you people won't laugh at you anymore

you're not a clown anymore

but how many strings you have!

It was your own fault, so now why are you complaining?

You became just like one of us

From the ambushes of the Cat and a Fox

you always managed to get out

but now, you risk way more!

Now you can't move an inch if there isn't someone above you

to order you around and pull your strings

And now that you think like one of us

you won't sell your textbooks anymore

like you did that day

to buy a ticket and go in

Fire-Eater's theater

now, you will actually read those books!

Go on, go on, read them all

learn those books by heart

it says there that the wise an the righteous

are those who make history

they make war, war is a serious thing

buffoons and puppets, they will never make it.

It was your own choice, so now why are you complaining?

You became just like one of us

before, you were a buffoon, a wooden puppet

but now that you are normal

how absurd is the game you play!
