Fatherland oh Fatherland you want to sculpt and mould me

Sculpt me mold me, paint and press me into conformity

Materials so pretty, made of murdered bodies

Make me love and want and own the lifestyle of finery

———

I’d rather die than have your selfish morals

I’d rather starve than eat when others can’t

I’ll give all I have for love universal

You don’t make me feel sorry with your rant

———

Motherland oh Motherland you bleed but still you guide me

You bleed and guide, you weep inside, and you always worry

Your loss, grief, and poverty. Your lies and honesty.

No matter what rulers say I give you my loyalty

———

I’d rather die than go against your morals

I will not eat because your people can’t

I’ll give all I have for love universal

I’ll follow you no matter how they rant

———

Fatherland hits Motherland

He shouts and screams and rages

Economy fuelled by blood

Her people must earn wages

Fatherland hits Motherland

He thinks he is a good man

Her stitched mouth and soul that floods

I must do all that I can

———

I’d rather die than have Fatherland’s morals

I will not eat because Motherland can’t

Humanity is for love universal

I heed her silenced I don’t heed his rant
