lirik lagu white kaps - envy
to overthrow his masters
always the slave by healthy envy was driven
but is my envy still healthy
when i wish not to inherit the castles they live in
i covet not my neighbour’s house
nor his thralls or his cattle
only the shield that they are to him
in this battle – of life
the poet looks into the mirror
sees the signs of human action
you may look in there as well
but only see your own reflection
i envy you each day of bliss
each lucky spell and divine kiss
that the gods bestowed upon you not me
the pictures they paint; are so utterly faint
but clear enough to stir the envy in all
selftraining cl-sses for the consuming m-sses
to make us feel ugly and small
but that envy is a safe ally
is a lie
i live with ghosts from the past
i live in fear that the next day’s the last
i can’t kepp smilling at your games
while the world is falling down in flames
but make no mistake
i wish i could
i cannot -ssume ignorance
of the suffering of man
i cannot pretend pleasure
in walking this scorched land
but make no mistake
i wish that i could
stormtroopers of stupidity
manipulating magic
amazing disgrace of the human race
sells a paradox fantastic:
that opposed to the socalled blessed
you find though you do not seek
happiness
sometimes i even envy your conformity
it’s not all happy days in the freakshow
– you know
everything bestowed upon you not me
the pictures they paint; are so utterly faint
but clear enough to stir the envy in all
selftraining cl-sses for the consuming m-sses
to make us feel ugly and small
but that envy is a safe ally
is a lie
still – one can dream of a time
when all the lies have been revealed
and then…
the pictures they paint;
with blood shall be stained
the nightmare of dreamfactories
brought down at last
the outcasts shall be the new incrowd, you see
and their mantras a thing of the past
’cause that envy is a safe ally
is a lie
