Nous Sommes Tres Petits

There’s always someone down in every crowd
Always a nameless figure trading about
He’s at the top of the state administration
Or anywhere else where certain things can’t be expressed aloud
Unlike dictatorships that rise and fall
These ones remain, they’ll always outlive them all
‘Cause they adapt, they conform to every standard
Cruel it may be, it doesn’t spoil the silent diplomats ball
A skilled collaborator’s neutrality
Makes you alert on forms of deviancy
It’s no real point who exactly gets the sack
Gypsies or Jews, it’s the abuse, the abuse
Of a man on his back
Nous sommes très petits
Nous sommes très petits
Nous sommes très petits
Nous sommes très petits
A skilled collaborator’s neutrality
Makes you alert on forms of deviancy
It’s no real point who exactly gets the sack
Gypsies or Jews, it’s the abuse, the abuse
Of a man on his back
Nous sommes très petits
Nous sommes très petits
Nous sommes très petits
Nous sommes très petits
We’re so small, we’re so small, we’re so small

Working in Los Alamos
Between millions of grains of sand
Doing your duty for God
And the US of A government
Teller and Fermi were there
And the general, what’s his name
All the facilities here
To create and to crush atmosphere
Here are monsters made
True big brothers made
Working in Los Alamos
Doing research on neutrons and ghosts
Find out how far we can go
Spending money on things you can’t know
We made the Super and they,
They had got it in one week or day
The nuclear race between nations
Enriched us in various ways
Here are monsters made
True big brothers made
Progress gets us nowhere
Neutronic brilliant ideas
Left untouched by those everyday fears
Not noticing their secret bond
With the military forces command
Scientists were carefully drilled
About 70.000 were killed
Ethical conflicts arose
Among others in Los Alamos
Here are monsters made
True big brothers made
Progress gets us nowhere

O, God of technology
Material energy
Save, o won’t you save the last dance for me
Working in Los Alamos
We lost control of every choice
It’s all anonymous now boys
All part of a big game
Damage is near, brain damage is near
Brain damage is near, brain damage is near, Oh!
Bell gave us the telephone
Watt gave me the microphone
Until now things were reasonably clear
Once knowledge was freedom, boys
Gave us the strength of nature
Showed us resources that could make
Our emancipation more than just a word
Damage is near, brain damage is near
Brain damage is near, brain damage is near
Lost control, lost control, lost control
Nuclear mission nuclear nukes and
Missiles pointing their warheads at our foreheads
Even if we turn around, around, around…
There’s not one big brother after all
Because when Oppenheimer died
His kids were there, alive and well
And reproducing, reproducing, reproducing
Damage is near, brain damage is near
Brain damage is near, brain damage is near
Lost control, lost control, lost control

Codified Minds

Watch the professor’s patience
Carries a heavy load
Pouring his computations
Into the worker’s throat
This is a clean profession
Dig the illusionists
Ivory tower´s passion
With a romantic twist
Stratifications, equations
His figures are clear
Figures of fear, going deeper and down
No-one can argue the circle is round
Science accumulating
Leaving us far behind
Power to those debating
Pulling the ties that bind
These standard errors are terrors
To codified minds
Figures of fear, going deeper and down
No-one can argue the circle is round
Staring at a saucer full of secrets
Leaving us far behind
Power to those debating
Pulling the ties that bind
These standard errors are terrors
To codified minds
No-one can argue the circle is round
Figures of fear, going deeper and down
This is a brave new world

Probation (live)

When you came out of jail you should have known that
When whites come out of prison they turn black
When blacks come out of prison they turn purple
You´re labelled so you´re easier to check
It´s a difficult situation
When you´re out there on probation
Try to get a job in your position
Ignore the stupid talk behind your back
????????????? That´s OK
Don´t you give a damn what they say
You know they got the rope around your neck
It´s a difficult situation
When you´re out there on probation
Just harassment, just humiliation
Getting caught for walking out the door
What they call a decent way of living
Is not a true suggestion anymore
It´s a difficult situation
When you´re out there on probation
It´s a difficult situation
When you´re out there on probation
