Sixty-Eight Songtext
von Amok

Going down to the underground
World spinning upside down
Sick of all the city sounds
I saw killers all around
Reading in the papers of the sickness in the streets
Feeling ill from vomit hate at everyone I meet

Why do you react when I look at you?
Is your brain so small that you hate us all?
All this is good from you
Sitting there with your point of view
It′s not my fault I am this way
It's all that shit before this day
You look at me like you know me
You look through me but you don′t know me
I risk my life for you, my friend
You really do not care


I'm gonna tell you a story
You sit there and hold my beer
Don't you try to stop me
Make you wish you′d never met me
I′m gonna tell you a story
You sit there and hold my beer
Don't you try to stop me
Make you wish you′d never met me

When I was a kid, hello, my old man was sick
And I hoped to get help but then he died alone
Laid in my bed, memories tortured my head
And I lost grip on reality
So what point am I trying to make?
Not quite sure but it's mine to make
Tired of haters all around
Wanna drag them underground
Reporters on the TV showing violence in the streets
Fuelling further hatred for the people that I meet


Why do you react when I look at you?
Is your brain so small that you hate us all?
I′ll tell you why, my friend
My dignity is mine to defend
I have my reason for being this way
It's all that shit before this day
I drink because I have to
Not because I want to
I live this way ′cause I need to
I wouldn't want it any other way

I'm gonna tell you a story
You sit there and hold my beer
If you don′t wanna know
I fully understand
I′m gonna tell you a story
You sit there and hold my beer
If you don't wanna know
I fully understand

When I got back from war all my best friends were dead
Damn, my wife left me too and I knew I was through
Left with no home on the streets all alone
I was falling into obscurity
No war ever made any sense
Outbreak that takes every cent
We make laws on ways to kill
Our condition will never relent
You see everyone that you love
They walk even though you would let them go
Not only do they not understand
They would go if they had the chance
Destroy the will, destroy
They can′t see you but they drag you down
No war ever made any sense
Outbreak that takes every cent
We make laws on ways to kill
Our condition will never relent
They come crawling but they take you out
You see everyone that you love
They walk even though you would let them go
Not only do they not understand
They would go if they had the chance
Take your chances and then walk away
You walk alone, it isn't what they say
No country wants you, they just walk the other way

Come on down and take a look to see
I want you to see what and who you could be
Lying beneath you, surrounded in shame
You′re nothing, we'll understand
You go out, you come back
You′re always just under attack
You think you're safe until you're home
When you′re ripped and mired alone

The time has come for you to go
But let me tell you before you′re home
Makes no sense to get involved
Futile we murder and kill
The war of '68, haha
