The age demanded that we sing
And cut away our tongue.

The age demanded that we flow
And hammered in the bung.

The age demanded that we dance
And jammed us into iron pants.

And in the end the age was handed
The sort of shit that it demanded.

Doba je trazilo od tebe pjesmu,
a onda ti jezik u korijenu skresnu.

Doba je trazilo od tebe da teces,
a onda ti cepic u slavinu mece.

Doba je trazilo da places i skaces,
a onda te nabi u zeljezne hlace.

Doba je dobilo, na kraju svega,
onakvo govno, kakvo mu treba.
