Pod okny zas lidi vyřvávají
vrazi „chyťte vraha!“
Po exekuci starých noví vyvolení
oblečou stejný kabát – jen v jiné barvě
Demokracie rozkvétá, byť s kosmetickou vadou:
ti, kteří kradli po léta, dnes stonásobně kradou!
Demokracie dozrála do žaludečních vředů,
bez poctivosti, bez práva a hlavně bez ohledů!
Pořád ty stejné staré postroje, jen postavy se mění
Zaujímáme postoje, místo abychom stáli.
Pořád ty stejné staré postroje, jen postavy se mění
A naše důležité postoje, které nic nezmění.
(Poslední dvě sloky jsou mírně upraveným textem Karla Kryla z písně Demokracie)
---
People are bawling under windows again
Murderers “Catch the killer!”
After execution of the old, new elected
They will put on the same clothes – just in different color
The democracy is blooming, even with a little defect
Those, who have been stealing for years, they are stealing hundred times more today!
The democracy has matured into gastric ulcers
Without honesty, without rights and especially with no regards!
There are still the same old harnesses, just figures are changing
We are assuming the attitudes, instead of to have them.
There are still the same old harnesses, just figures are changing
And our important attitudes, which will not change anything
(Last to verses are a slightly modified text of a song of Karel Kryl called Democracy)
