Revolution [English translation]

Okay, say it

Okay, what if tonight was the night

When we took it back

Back to love?

(One love, one life, right?)

I feel it's cold in the spirit of our time

Feel that we're stuck in a time pocket

I sometimes think that perhaps we went

A step too far in evolution, it's almost as if

None of us can find peace within

We've never had this much, never been less free

It has never been easier to be get connected

But with technology, love has gone away

Come to a halt, feel within yourself - do you feel me?

If you think I'm tripping, thinking I'm chasing ghost

Go take a trip through the traffic of this city

And see how much time passes before you get a killing look

Or a fuck finger from a stranger in the middle of the street

Tell me where it comes from

All this hate

The only way to end it is a revolution

But before I send the first bullet

I'll give love another shot

[Chorus: Burhan G]

I never said that I've got all the answers

I'm just saying that we were better as we were

Perhaps I'm a dreamer, and I'll probably wake up some day

Oh, take me back

Take – take me back

We've come to somewhere we've never been before

The generation where everyone has an outlet

We can go around the world in a second and let them hear

What we want to say, but it's wasted – look at what we're doing

In the comment section, hate's flowing in their voices

I love my country, but I'm not cool with Nationen1

And a culture where those who step a bit too far out of line

Are shot down, back into the rank or bang bang

I think hate is a blindfold

It's becoming so easy to sell as a web of lies

As we're fighting about skin colours and sexuality

There's a war about power and oil – there's fire on my planet

I've yet to see anyone turn water into wine

So I'm an atheist, but my brother's a muslim

And I'm not sure of anything, but I believe in revolution

Where we don't send a single bullet

But we give love a shot

[Chorus: Burhan G]

I never said that I've got all the answers

I'm just saying that we were better as we were

Perhaps I'm a dreamer, and I'll probably wake up some day

Oh, take me back

Take – take me back

I never had a solution

I'm just saying that we were better as we were

Perhaps I'm a dreamer, and I'll probably wake up some day

Oh, take me back

It's silence before the storm

We're about to wake up

It's become too expensive to live

If you want to live, you've got to take a loan

And who wouldn't want to feel special?

And take care of their family

So we get ourselves into debt

Stressing around, high on caffeine and sugar

A million tiny screens which never turn off

And we're drowning

Yearning for something which doesn't exist

Put a light in the air if you know the feeling

And sing:

[Chorus: Burhan G]

I never said that I've got all the answers

I'm just saying that we were better as we were

Perhaps I'm a dreamer, and I'll probably wake up some day

Oh, take me back

Take – take me back

Take me, take me back [x7]

Take – take me back

Yo, I do realize it's simple

But perhaps it's "simple" we need

We'll get nowhere if we stand still
