Fatherland



You put us in schools
You control us with rules
You want me as a bull
You need me as a fool

You put me in WAR
What do you want more?
You made me to kill
What do you think I feel?

You said you love us
You love in your way
You put us in a bus
And you sent us away

We were all in that WAR
But you sent more and more...
I regret my destiny
But it's good to be free

Fatherland! You love me!
For freedom I will die
Fatherland! you killed me!
For all of us, you will cry

They put me in a plastic bag
With a big hole in my back...
They covered me with your flag
And then they sent me back

It's for that you love us
It's for that it's not fare!
It's for that you need us
And it's for that you don't care

A men sees you're lying
When to be alive he's trying
And just when he's dying
He understand why he's crying
