Grenzen [English translation]
Grenzen [English translation]
Who is inside, who is outside
I draw a line, you can't go past it
There, air meets air
There, land meets land
There, skin meets lead
Where is above, where is beneath
Who could, who would want to change that?
What happens in countries
At their borders
There's Frontex and Poschpex
Fences, weapons, conferences to ward refugees off
The Mediterranean becomes a mass grave
There are borders
They lead to national socialism with its crazy consequences
You take people's rights away just because they came from somewhere
There are borders
Could you please complement this answer correspondingly?
That is probably in the core of the problem
There are borders
I'm signing off
I want a passport that says I'm a resident of the earth
Just resident of the earth
Please tell me where to go for that
I'm signing off
I'm registering a change in address
It can't be that difficult
Just write resident of the earth in it
We draw a border in the sky
One god is here and another one there
Then they threaten each other with their fists
To eternity and so on
There has to be something better
No messenger of the gods will bring peace
We tried a few thousand years with borders
There were many dead
Call me naive
I don't care, I think it's enough
I'm looking for the country in which everyone is equal to everyone in independence
I'm signing off
I want a passport that says I'm a resident of the earth
Just resident of the earth
Please tell me where to go for that
I'm signing off
I'm registering a change in address
It can't be that difficult
I close the door and enjoy the silence
I put up boundaries, that's necessary
Everyone has their boundary that surrounds them
It encloses them protectively
Every assault, every blow
Hurts a human right
Why are states' borders protected so well and human boundaries so badly?
They don't have to go between countries but between human beings
They should not be made of barbed wire but of respect
There are borders.
