lyrics

البيت والسيارة وكل ما لدينا
ملك للبنك ديون علينا
أنا بنفسي بعت نفسي لهم
دفعوا ثمني ولا شيء يهم

غارق في آلة لغسيل الدماغ
مدمن على كل ما يقتل الفراغ
وكأن الوقت صار هو عدوي
وأنين الحرية في قلبي يدوي

يستعملوني كالرجل الآلي
لأُفقِرَ الفقير وأُثر]يَ الثري
ولا أكترث، فقلبي من حديد
ادفع لي، أفعل ما تريد

صارت حياتي نسخة عصرية
عما كان يسمى عبودية
تغير الاسم من عبد لعامل
أو موظف بأجرة شهرية

وهذا هو حال الجميع في الغابة
علينا أن نطيع رئيس العصابة
فهل من صوت ينادي بالثورة؟
هل من صوت ينادي بالثورة؟

يا ويلي علينا ياويلي علينا,
لما يحطوا الميكروتشيب بأيدينا
يا ويلي علينا يا ويل, يا ويلي علينا

ها أنا أقف هنا
فوق أطلال الحرية
ها أنا أقف هنا
لأعيد النظر بكل النظرية

البيت والسيارة وكل ما لدينا
ملك للبنك ديون علينا
أنا بنفسي بعت نفسي لهم
دفعوا ثمني ولا شيء يهم

The house and the car and everything we own,
Belongs to the bank till we pay off the loan,
I myself sold myself to them,
They paid my price, nothing matters to them,
Drowning into a brain washing machine,
Addicted to whatever kills spare time,
As if time became my enemy,
The whine of freedom echoes in my heart,
They use me like a robot,
To poorer the poor and enrich the rich,
It’s no big deal; my heart is made of steel.

If you pay me.. I do whatever you wish,
I do whatever you wish.

My life became a modern version,
Of what used to be called slavery,
The name changed from slave to worker,
Or employee by a monthly salary,
This is the case of everyone in the jungle,
We have to obey the head of the gang,
Is there a voice calling for a revolution?

Is there a voice calling for a revolution?

[The part with the Mawwal]

Oh boy.. what will become of us, oh boy,
When they will put the microchip into our skin,
Oh boy, what will become of us.

Behold, here I stand,
On the ruins of liberty,
Behold, here I stand,
To question the whole theory.

The house and the car and everything we own,
Belongs to the bank till we pay off the loan,
I myself sold myself to them,
They paid my price, nothing matters to them.
