lyrics

1989

we travel reverse in time
to meet you in 80 and 9
when the moon and the stars and the train realign

we travel reverse in time
when colours and sound intertwine
where nobody stares at their phones all the time

oh no! something went wrong.
must have set time machine to a much different song.
oh no fuck! what a blast! this ain't the past.
this must be the future.
now that i'm here i might as well look.
first thing i notice nobody's reading a book.
all behave like fish on dictator shitty pings hook.
the government tells you what to do.
making life real easy for you.
no choices no freedom of speech.
they poisen your mind like skin with skin bleach.
one thing for granted. everybody's got a SIM card implanted
you work until you die nobody looks a stranger in the eye
it makes me wanna cry.
this can't be real. this is so far from ideal.
it doesn't suit me. everybody just wants to use me.
to stuff and abuse me.
to rape and to bury me and for all of it charge me.
charge me to much. what if i just die in the wrong place
i'm mixed race. everybody is. i'm german i'm polish you're chinese.
so what? we have the same african roots. walk the exact same DNA boots.
we're identical. blood's a powerful thing.
no reason for that bullshit you sing.
bullshitskee. like russians would say.
you're just about to ruin my day.
what do i think about true blood?
is this really the question you've just asked?
well let me give you a meaningfull task.
go shit and smell it.

we travel reverse in time
to meet you in 80 and 9
when the moon and the stars and the train realign

we travel reverse in time
when colours and sound intertwine
where nobody stares at their phones all the time

mr. police officer. nobody's talking like that to me.
i'm from way in the past and can't you see.
you're a tiny wheel in mechanisms of power.
ready to be replaced any hour.
go suck your chicken finger
you're the KTV out of tune copy of a
marionette singer.
you represent a government never elected.
your speach is rejected.
shut up. you don't tell me anything.
mirrow that shit to ping brother.
nice pose. did you just make a peace sign?
think the police tank looks sexy?
now what do you think this flying piece of shit is gonna do?
bring love and peace to you?
remember tiananmen 19 and 80 and 9

we travel reverse in time
to meet you in 80 and 9
when the moon and the stars and the train realign

we travel reverse in time
when colours and sound intertwine
where nobody stares at their phones all the time
