We are hungry and thirsty

This world is getting more and more productive

but men remain in a fictional reality

A single quest in search of happiness

love and inner peace

the dry throat the clenched teeth we fight

we drink in espotrs of spychologies novels

But wherever it rhymes, everything is only ephemeral

We're screwed like sheep

beware the wolves of this world who don't give a chance to a simple life

We consume without really being satisfied

We thirst and hunger for the freedom of truth

We need real love

where the cop can really get relief from a real smile from a real kiss

we are hungry and thirsty for what we call happiness after having worked so much

We've had enough of anti depressants bullshit lies telling us it's alright we gotta be strong

We have given everything but what remains to us in the end nothing

we will die of hunger and thirst

put many hear but do not see

Hold our hand

before it's too late
