lyrics

Wir Haben es Nicht Gewußt

Shipped in by the millions,
in disregard of gender or race,
like bagged goods of imported produce,
behind bars and surrounded by fences.

Do you constantly repeat to yourself that you knew of nothing?
Does that help you endure the guilt?
Keep your hands free from blood?
Cruelty-free?

And allow you to savour the taste of
free from murder, free from slaughter.
Isn't that a life worth living?

Why won't it get through your thick skull?
AAAAAARGH!
...ugh.

Forced to survive
between blood and shit-stained walls.
Frozen to death
and collapse due to fatigue and exhaust.
Free slave labour
and no compensation for their pain.
Avoid torture
and others to be slain.

Without popular outcry
and with protest at bay
these camps of utter horror
keep functioning everyday.
"We knew of nothing"
but finance it with our pay.
There's no better time to
stop using slaves.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Nosotros No Sabíamos de Nada

Traídos a millones,
sin importar sexo o raza,
como si fueran bienes empaquetados de productos importados
tras barrotes y rodeados de vallas.

¿Acaso te repites constantemente que no sabías de nada?
¿Te ayuda a superar la culpabilidad?
¿Mantener tus manos libres de sangre y crueldad?
¿Y permitirte saborear el estar libre de asesinato, libre de matanza?
¿Es eso una vida que valga la pena vivir?

¿Porque no consigue eso atravesar tu denso cráneo?
¡AAAAAARGH!
...ugh.

Obligados a sobrevivir
entre paredes salpicadas de mierda y sangre.
Fulminados por el frío
y colapsados por la fatiga.
Trabajos forzados gratuïtos,
sin compensar su dolor.
Evita la tortura
y que otros sean masacrados.

Sin clamor popular
y con toda protesta marginada
estos campos de absoluto terror
siguen funcionando cada día.
"Nosotros no sabíamos de nada"
pero seguimos financiándolo con nuestro sueldo.
No hay ningún momento mejor para
dejar de usar esclavos.

My all time favourite band. They stick to a simple formula their whole career and have mastered it in such an un parralelled fashion. Awesome people when I met them in Newcastle, Australia in 2010 as well. All hail the punk kings deehall666
