Look for the Answer Songtext
von Atlas Monkey

Try to imagine a world without any form of state, without laws or
Politics or a government. Would mankind be able to survive in a
Civilisation where our behaviour has no boundaries? Could we take
Care of ourselves and one another? Or has our
World been turned upside down by politicians and
Bureaucrats? Perhaps we′re about to find out...

For thousands of years
Men have tried various forms of state
But what's the reason?
Have we not learned to communicate?
Monarchies, democracies
In the end all of them have failed
To provide a better life
For the majority, I′d say

I was born a free man
Then they told me I had to obey
And do what they say
They never asked me anyway


This needs to change right now
The system won't work out for long
And we shall stand together
And fight for our rights and sing our song

In our brave new world
We shall prevail
We shall live our lives
In peace and harmony
We shall make our choices today
In this brave new world of ours we stay
In our brave new world
We stand up and fight
We turn off the lights
No state can take our right
We shall make our choices right now
In this brave new world of ours somehow


Politicians form our world as they like it to be
All the money for themselves and for their families
So watch out, 'cause they can tell you
Everything that they want you to do
In the end they always win, you have
No chance, so just give up, you fool
Governments are everywhere, they tell us what to think
They put their hands right in your
Minds, just like some wretched shrink
Run for cover, they oppress you, they
Control you, this is not your life
Work all day and dream of peace, they
Steal your bread while you try to survive

This needs to change right now (And so we try to change it)
The system won′t work out for long (Yeah, listen to me)
Progress and order
Our people shall have a bright future
Elections and free speech
Where would our nation be now had we not achieved these?

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Progress and order

Training our soldiers so you feel protected
They fight for freedom and often give their lives
Make sure their country never gets neglected
Leaving their children, husbands, and their wives
You should never be afraid
For we never shall be late
You don′t have to live in fear
Our protection is right here

Now is this really the life that you have chosen?
Believing that we are the enemy
In fact we always took care of your problems
But you don't ever, ever want to see
There′s still a chance for you to change your minds
Is there a reason to overthrow the state?
We can be civilized and talk about your struggle
Find a solution and keep up the debate
Keep up the debate

How fascinating
As you can see, there are at least two ways to look at this topic
Some of you believe that our world
Would be better off without any leaders
While the other party suggests that we couldn't really
Take care of ourselves without guidance and protection
Now, which one has the final answer?
Hmm, I think if there was an ultimate answer, this
Debate wouldn′t have been going on for millennia
Each generation has to find the balance between these two extremes
Only then can they find a similar balance in their lives

Don't close the door on each other
There′s still much to talk about
No reason to fight one another
So listen up more than you shout
While we may not find a solution
That won't mean the question is gone
Individual against institution
This debate ever keeps going on
Don't close the door on each other
There′s still much to talk about
No reason to fight one another
So listen up more than you shout
While we may not find a solution
That won′t mean the question is gone
Individual against institution
This debate ever keeps going on
