Lyrics translation

Enough of obedience from those who are bound!
Im sick of seeing false cohesion all around.
Im tired of the heartless stare of those
Who are far too stupid to look ahead.
Their shirts turning brown, their scarves once were red.
Were shackled together by one chain
And forced to pursue the same aim.
Shackled together by one chain,
Were forced to pursue the same
We've got plenty of land that we can't civilize,
While the greatness of the State is built on duress and lies.
You dare not say in public whats been said in private.
Mediocrity rules, personalitys devalued.
And whatever I do, I always keep in mind that
We are shackled together by one chain
And forced to pursue the same aim.
Shackled together by one chain,
Were forced to pursue the same
Some will always find a god and pray.
Some will work hard on idling away.
Beggars keep singing the praises of those,
Who are to be blamed for social woes.
Here you can play any instrument,
But an outro is all you will get.
When the doorbell rings you have no clue
If they are just coming by or coming for you.
Here with wasted years all our hopes are nourished.
Here the one who is tired is the one whos accomplished.
You have seen glitterati, you have been to the slum,
But you still cant tell the cream from the scum.
What you can tell, however, is that they are all numb
And shackled together by one chain
And forced to pursue the same aim.
We are shackled together by one chain,
Forced to pursue the same
