Efficiant, logical, effective, and practical
Using all resorces to the best of our ability
Changing, designing, adapting our mentalities
Improving our abilities for a better way of life
Babies. Mother. Hospital. Scissors.
Creature. Judgement. Butcher. Engineer.
These are the little children,
The future in our hands
When all God's children on this earth
Inherit all our plans
These are the lies they tell us
But this is the only way
When all God's children on the earth
Will evermore be saved
Babies. Mother. Hospital. Scissors.
Creature. Judgement. Butcher. Engineer.
These are the little children,
The future in our hands
When all God's children on this earth
Inherit all our plans
These are the lies they tell us,
The future's good as sold
In all the things we do and know,
We really must be told
GENTECHNIK

Dies

die Zukunft in unserer Hand
Wann
erben alle Gotteskinder dieser Erde
alle unsere Vorhaben
Dies
sind die Lügen die sie uns erzählen,
aber dies ist der einzige
Weg
Wann werden alle Gotteskinder dieser Erde
in alle Ewigkeit
errettet sein
Babys,
Mutter, Krankenhaus, Scheren
Lebewesen, Gericht, Metzger, Techniker
Dies

die Zukunft in unserer Hand
Wann
erben alle Gotteskinder dieser Erde
alle unsere Vorhaben
Dies
sind die Lügen die sie uns erzählen,
die Welt ist so gut wie
verkauft
In allen Dingen die wir tun und wissen,
müssen wir
wirklich gewarnt sein

I’ve got a telegraph in my hand
Words on paper, written in sand
We’ve got telegraph, right across this land
It doesn’t mean a damn thing.
we don’t understand
But who needs telegraph anyway?
We’ve got telegraph, right across this land
It doesn’t mean a damn thing
We don’t understand, we never understand!
God’s got a telegraph on his side
It makes him powerful, gives him pride
Even in America, God bless America!
They understand
The value of the telegraph,
hand in hand, hand in hand...
TELEGRAF
Ich
habe einen Telegrafen in meiner Hand
Worte auf Papier, geschrieben
in Sand
Wir haben einen Telegrafen, quer über dieses Land
Und
es tut überhaupt nichts zur Sache, daß wir nicht verstehen
Aber
wer braucht immer noch einen Telegrafen
Wir haben einen Telegrafen,
quer über dieses Land
Und es tut überhaupt nichts zur Sache,
daß
wir nicht verstehen, wir niemals verstehen
Gott hat einen
Telegrafen an seiner Seite
Es macht ihn mächtig, gibt ihm Stolz
Gerade
in Amerike, Gott schütze Amerika! Verstehen sie
Den Wert eines
Telegrafen, Hand in Hand, Hand in Hand

The youth and the Imperialist Tribune was also addressed by a
young girl
from Nicaragua whose hands had been cut off at the wrists
by the former
Samosa guards.
Veronica Merco, of the German Federal
Republic, had this to say:
"Also, ich habe eine Ausbildung gemacht
zum
Industriekaufmann und wurde nach der Ausbildung nicht übernommen..
hab'
also eine abgeschlossene Berufsausbildung". "I’m a shop assistant
at the... ??
and I must say I’m a shop assistant by profession,
but it is
difficult for.... ??"
Now and then a little thing gets by, now and then we’ll cry
Like a fall in a war, like a mother’s open arms
Like a pawn in a game, hard to take
There we sit on a line, wasting fortunes at a time, and pray
All the time we are gone, there’s no reason, there’s no way
Oh, the soul is the one so they say
There we sit on a line, wasting fortunes at a time, and play
She never thought he’d be this way
Her arms aloft, she holds
But now it’s all a memory
And it’s gone...

THE
ROMANCE OF THE TELESCOPE
Musik
& Text: Humphreys / McCluskey
published by EMI/Virgin
Music Publishing Ltd.
See these arms that were broken,
how they held you so
Never once did they fail you,
they won’t let you go
We’re just waiting looking skyward
as the days come down
Someone promised there’d be answers,
if we stayed around
Over decades, now this romance
has
sustained us all
Never questioned, only giving
what it made us for
DAS
MÄRCHEN VOM TELESKOP
Sieh diese Arme, die nun gebrochen wurden
wie sie dich gehalten
haben.
Nicht einmal haben sie dich scheitern lassen
sie hätten dich nicht
gehen lassen
Wir warten einfach, schauen himmelwärts
während der Tag
niedergeht
Jemand hat versprochen, es gäbe Antworten,
wenn wir nur
hierblieben
Jahrzehntelang hat dieses Märchen
uns aufrechterhalten
Niemals
infrage gestellt, gibt es nur
wofür es uns gemacht
hat

God only knows this isn’t heaven
The promises made, we never keep them
We’re walking on air, we’re taking our time
But God only knows this isn’t reason or rhyme
I’ve had this feeling I don’t believe in
It’s happened before, I just reject it
We’re walking on air, we’re taking our time
But God only knows this isn’t reason or rhyme
These are the feelings, I know their outcome
It’s useless pretending, I’d like to beat them
We’re walking on air, we’re taking our time
But God only knows this isn’t reason or rhyme
We’re walking on air, we’re taking our time, this time
But God only knows, this isn’t reason or rhyme
We’re walking on air...

From the transmitter, to the receiver
Across the ether, out of your speaker
Radio waves have life! Radio waves have life!
Machines are living too, they’re working for me and you!
From the transmitter, to the receiver
Across the ether,
out of your speaker
To the Baltic Fleet and Atlantic Fleet
Faster than the breeze over stormy seas
Radio waves have life! Radio waves have life!
Machines are living too, they’re working for me and you!
Through America to Albania
Over Reagan’s head, under Moscow’s bed
To the Warsaw Pact and the NATO Pact
Down this cul de sac, never turning back
Radio waves have life! Radio waves have life!
Machines are living too, they’re working for me and you!

ALL THE THINGS WE'VE MADE

To want this,
of everything we’ve made
The times it’s worked before
Of all the things we’ve said
Times that worked before today
To want this,
of everything we’ve made
The times it’s worked before
Of all the things we’ve said
They've always worked before today
