Im Westen Nichts Neues

Ey, we pay for wars with taxes, that's clear
And you can't change that and that's true
Paying for bullets and guns, lead method, no lesson
Focused on territories and profit
We're neighbors, but we hate each other to the core
Taking things from each other and at least I have enough
They beat and they murder, steal houses, get medals
Anyone who says otherwise is an anti-Semite
Tax evaders instead of a disgrace in court
And who decides who has food and who doesn't?
Dropping bombs on each other, concrete today, where there used to be reception
No love for anyone is the course
Propaganda of many media is certain
If you love your homeland, they call you a fascist
It must not matter where you come from, the only important question is
Are you fair to the world and are you not?
Did your father ever lose track while fetching firewood?
And mom raises you alone with skill
Hurt others because you need it, are dissatisfied and smoke
Only those who hurt have their struggle not under control
Where does the food for cooking actually come from?
Doesn't matter, we make it extra hard for the farmers
Pick onions and tomatoes, mash potatoes, pick salads
I don't even pay a measly penny for it
No mercy for culture and also the country
And with concrete they fill up wells, damn
War always requires suffering, has always been, will remain so
But there are kids among your dead
You can all stagnate and lecture me
But what's going on there, no, you can't explain
You are blind and you are cowardly, to speak out, but I remain
True to my stance, even if it costs me my money
It's always been the same, no matter who likes it
And I love my dog more than the wide world
Ey, I make music, write words, shoot emotions into your body
I thank you for listening, I'm Jaill
