Every time I look around, I see the kids and hear them shout:
’We run from majority and call ourselves minority!’ In single file they chant together: ’I’m myself, just like you!’ They don’t know they have become their own worst enemy. They sing their songs, but they don’t know what they’re saying. They’ve got ideals, but they’re already fading.
I do not understand, how is this from the heart? It seems like a big show from the start. I do not understand, how is this from the heart? Just get in line, but I won’t take part...
of this narrowminded scene, their borders and their boundaries. ‘We’re the kids and we’re united! Get in line, don’t try to fight it!’ Once again the tables are turning. I can smell another trend burning. ‘Throw your fist in the air! We don’t know why, but should we care?’
‘Stay true’. Well, that is what I’ll do, when you trade yourself for someone new once again and again and again and again!
