Invincible Songtext
von Pallas
Invincible Songtext
The anchorman is calling
He′s dragging me awake
He feeds me news, the worldwide blues
The moves our leaders make
Sickly smiles on sofas preach
"Let them eat fruit, not cake"
A twenty-first century nannyland
Nags us through a new day
Padded, packed and running
Make sure that we're not late
We′re herded in like cattle to the slaughter
Through the workhouse gates
Driven by our masters
We're shackled to the interest rate
"You must exceed your target
Human Resource 51698"
It's my life and you can′t have it
You troublemaking shit
We′ve come to tear your palace down
How dare you think?
Get back in line
We need your fat and flesh
To feed our big machine
Live, work and die
There's a queue of five
It′s my life and you can't have it
Don′t smoke, don't drink
Don′t eat, don't think
Work hard, don't slack
Pay tax, don′t slack
Don′t strain, don't breathe
Don′t pray, don't cry
Don′t die, don't feel
Don′t stop, don't think
Don't shake your waking sleep
Don′t hope, don′t dream
Don't dare to fight the machine
I remember the afternoons in bed
We′d laugh and love and life stretched out ahead
And as the day melts into night
We'd plan a course to live our lives
But where did all the time go?
Drained away like sand
Whatever happened to our dreams?
I guess they blew our minds
The grinding wheels keep turning
Tearing souls apart
Devouring dreams and lovers schemes
Free thinkers, men of art
We are all just numbers
A target market marked
We can rise against the tide
The fish must kill the shark
It′s my life and you can't have it
I will not break
I will not fall
I will not compromise
For anyone at all
It′s my life, you can't take
Knock me down but I won't break
I′m invincible
I am invincible
Break my will, steal my pride
As long as you are by my side
I′m invincible
I am invincible
Invincible
Invincible
He′s dragging me awake
He feeds me news, the worldwide blues
The moves our leaders make
Sickly smiles on sofas preach
"Let them eat fruit, not cake"
A twenty-first century nannyland
Nags us through a new day
Padded, packed and running
Make sure that we're not late
We′re herded in like cattle to the slaughter
Through the workhouse gates
Driven by our masters
We're shackled to the interest rate
"You must exceed your target
Human Resource 51698"
It's my life and you can′t have it
You troublemaking shit
We′ve come to tear your palace down

Don′t pray, don't cry
Don′t die, don't feel
