lyrics

They’ve always taught us we shouldn’t lie / They’ve always taught us we shouldn’t steal / They’ve always taught us to show compassion / Now I see that none of that was real / / We’ve been raised with countless values that are only there to enforce the current social and economic order / If we want to create a non-hiearchical way of living together we’ll have to / unlearn / redefine / revolt / take back our lives

When we grow up we’re being taught several things on how to be ‘good people’. Don’t steal, don’t lie, be
compassionate towards other human beings etc. Values that, in our local context, originates from a christian (predominantly catholic) past. Where in the past it was the church that scared people into being ‘good people’ with the promise of heaven for those who subordinated we now have a ‘demoncracy’ that tricked people into believing that they are a fully responsible for what society is, how it functions and what it stands for. Yet again ‘our democracy’, economic wealth and social hierarchies are built on lies, stolen land and the blood of countless human beings. We should not live up to the demands of contemporary society and until we live in the ways we want to and have chosen for ourselves we decide who we steal from, who we lie to and towards who we are compassionate because we owe them nothing.
