Greenland

You broke my mug
You robbed my yesterday
Admit that I'm just as you are
You're not inside my skin
 
Jubilee without perjudice
In the eyes were flashes
Dreams stuck in a one-way-street
Nothing worked at all
 
The pink clouds flew away
Cold anger in the heads
Dusty air in our four walls
Somehow nothing is good anymore
 
All I want is my peace
Can't bear her voice
Resignately stumbeling it'll go on
With a stony face
 
I can't see land, I can't see an end
Can't see entrance nor exit
Frustration and violence are setting fire
I want to go home
 
Desperately you cling to your money
I hang about you pennyless
The cards are badly given
Unhealthy for a wedding
 
You toadied around to the end
I cowardly accostumed myself
We beat each other philistining
None of us gets ahead
 
Burning leftovers are driven through the communities
Substituting a brother's war
We don't need to love us right away
But make yourself interesting
 
Come on, let's reach for the stars
Bit by bit, one by one
I'll tell you my secret
And even more, if you ask
 
What counts for you is what I'm paying
What you can take off me
Even though something else really counts
You're only counting your pennies
 
Stop you kidnap
We've got the same goal
Got through hell's kitchen together
We can only find common peace
 
I can't see land, I can't see an end
Can't see entrance nor exit
Frustration and violence are setting fire
I feel betrayed and sold
 
Can't see an exit
In front of faces
I only see shades
Nobody, noone who trusts me
 
I only want respect, no promises
No false swearings
Feeling left alone
Want to go home again
 
You broke my mug
You robbed my yesterday
Give me a piece of your tomorrow
Give me a home again
