Lyrics in English:
I can say what I want, Can I say what I want
You can say what you want, I can’t say what I want
And my questions remain questions, unheard and unquenched/unsated
I've got so much to say but stay silent and still/bated.
My thoughts fade to silence in the blankness of the ether
The asking of questions can be put off to later
What I don’t know don’t turn me on, it gets me lazy that
I avoid the danger of words, just need a baseball bat.
So I can destroy everything that I don’t understand
Wanna see nothing, feel nothing, and hear nothing, man
I am surrounded by conspiracy theorists
This world is highly complex, but I’ve a fear of heights.
Knowledge is power but I don’t know that I know nothing
Or do I know too much information, going round in circles
And anti-terror laws, allaying all my fears
What civil rights? "Machiavelli" divide and conquer.
Hook:
Thoughts are free, who can divine these
Taking flight like shadows at night.
They can neither be read, nor shot down dead,
So still we see: Our thoughts are free.
Until they become words, leading to deeds
Can it be treason to uncover lies that cause wars?
I think no, as my thoughts are free/unbound
Defend freedom of speech with every rhyme I write/sound.
Knowledge is power so we organise education in hierarchies
Democratic consensus building taking us for a ride
There have never been so much ways to get information
And never so many tools for manipulation.
You think that living in a glasshouse makes your life safer / is so auspicious
Throwing stones at the data sick – so capricious
Everything you do can be used against you here
We should re-learn to appreciate our private sphere.
No, we can’t take for granted our freedom of speech
It can land you in prison with global reach
And, no, our freedom can’t be taken for granted
When it isn’t fought for daily it can be supplanted.
2x Hook
Thoughts are free, who can divine these
Taking flight like shadows at night.
They can neither be read, nor shot down dead,
So still we see: Our thoughts are free.
my thoughts are free/unbound
and I defend freedom of speech with every rhyme I write/sound.
I fight every damned prejudice
Until the whole menkind unites in freedom
